Why is it feminine?

Llamadas is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine past participle of the verb "clamare" (to call). In Spanish, the -ada ending consistently marks feminine nouns, and "llamada" (literally "called") functions as a feminine noun meaning "call" or "phone call". The gender is reinforced by the productive feminine -ada suffix.
