If you missed out the American Music Awards which was aired on Sunday night from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and with all Covid-19 protocols in place.
With Taraji P. Henson as the host, the show had multiple live performances with a small number audience. The show opened with the new single from Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes ‘Monster.’ Justin went on to perform two of his hit singles ‘Lonely’ and ‘Holy’.
This was also the first time Katy Perry took the stage for the first time since she became a mother to perform ‘Only Love’ with Darius Rucker. Megan Thee Stallion also had her performance standout.
The top prize of the night which is the Artist of the Year went to Taylor Swift. Taylor said she was unable to accept the award in person because she was busily rerecording her early music catalogue, which has been sold recently. She also won music video of the year and favourite female pop artist. She currently holds the record for most AMA career wins by a single artist with 32 awards.
