There have been some real surprises on the 2025 American Music Awards. Billie Eilish gained in all seven classes during which she was nominated, together with artist of the yr, which had gone to fellow nominee Taylor Swift seven instances between 2009 and 2022. The 51st AMAs have been offered on Monday (Might 26) at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in a fast-paced, two-hour ceremony hosted by Jennifer Lopez.
Eilish gained new artist of the yr on the AMAs six years in the past. Eilish is the third AMA new artist of the yr winner to go on to win the artist of the yr prize, following Carrie Underwood and Ariana Grande. Underwood gained the brand new artist prize in 2006 and the highest artist award one yr later. Grande gained the brand new artist prize in 2013 and the highest artist award in 2016.
This was the primary common American Music Awards broadcast in two-and-a-half years; the primary that aired on CBS (the present aired on ABC from 1974-2022), and the primary to not be held within the Los Angeles space.
Among the awards went precisely as anticipated. Dan + Shay gained favourite nation group for the fifth consecutive time. Dangerous Bunny and Becky G saved up their lengthy profitable streaks in Latin classes. SZA gained a pair of awards – favourite feminine R&B artist and favourite R&B track for “Saturn.” And Tyla gained favourite Afrobeats artist.
However you wouldn’t have an awards present with out snubs and surprises, and there have been some massive ones at this yr’s AMAs. Have a look.
