Jennifer Lopez hosted the 2025 American Music Awards last night live from Las Vegas! She kicked things off by celebrating the biggest songs of the year and by making out with her back-up dancers. (Yes, for real.)
The night was filled with star-studded performances. Janet Jackson who received the ICON award also graced the stage. This was her first time performing live on TV in seven years!
Shaboozey was not impressed by a comment made by Megan Moroney. They presented the award for Favorite Country Band/Duo/Group together. While presenting the award, Megan pointed out how a previous winner “basically invented country music.” Shaboozey paused to process her words, rolled his eyes and laughed before continuing to present the nominees. This year’s award went to Dan + Shay.
Now, to what it’s all about… the winners! Kendrick Lamar was the most nominated artist of the year with 10 nods, but Billie Eilish was the big winner of the night! Billie won in all seven of the categories she was nominated in. Not all the awards were announced during the show. Check out the full list of winners below!
