The 2025 American Music Awards, billed as the largest fan-voted awards show, honored some of the most popular artists in the industry on Monday in Las Vegas.
Kendrick Lamar, a three-time AMA winner, earned the most nominations this year with 10, but only ended up taking home one award for favorite hip-hop song. Lamar was competing in top categories including artist of the year and song of the year, which ended up going to Billie Eilish.
Post Malone came into the night with the second most nominations with eight, as he too was eyeing big wins in artist, album and song of the year. Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey each have seven nominations. He ended the night with two wins: favorite country song and favorite male country artist.
Taylor Swift, who already holds the record for most AMA wins in history, with 40, earned six nominations this year but didn't have any wins. Prior to Monday's show, rumors were swirling that Swift could possibly announce a new album or "Reputation (Taylor's Version)," but she did not attend the ceremony, putting a damper on fans' hopes, and no announcement came.
Jennifer Lopez returned to host the AMAs for the second time, with her first stint coming a decade ago in 2015. Lopez also performed the opening dance number. Other performers included Benson Boone, Gwen Stefani, Janet Jackson and Rod Stewart.
Jackson was honored with the Icon Award, while Stewart was given the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Created by Dick Clark, the first American Music Awards were given out in 1974. After decades of annual ceremonies, the show took a two-year hiatus beginning in 2023, although last year, the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special aired, featuring performances and interviews from iconic past winners.
This year's ceremony took place at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The ceremony aired live on CBS television stations and streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will be able to watch it on demand beginning Tuesday.
