Po tri nagrade sa svečane dodijele American Music Awards u nedjelju su iz Los Angelesa odnijeli Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd i Dan i Shay. Glumica Taraji P. Henson vodila je emisiju koja je išla uživo iz The Microsoft Theatre uz nezaobilazno poštivanje svih epidemioloških mjera iako su se organizatori odlučili i za nešto publike u studiju kako bi dobili na atmosferi tijekom nastupa brojnih izvođača. Najveći favoriti bili su The Weekend i Roddy Ricch koji su imali po osam nominacija.

Nominacija izvođača temeljili se na interakciji sa obožavateljima, a  što se odražava i na Billboardovoj ljestvici i uključuje streaming, prodaju albuma i digitalnih pjesama, prisutnost u radio eteru kao i aktivnosti na društvenim mrežama. Iako je podijelila po tri nagrade sa Justinom Bieberom, The Weeknd, te Danom i Shayom svojevrsna pobjednica je Taylor Swift koja nije osobno bila na dodjeli, ali drži rekord u osvojenim nagradama American Music Awards, njih čak 32. Ove godine osvojila je AMA u kategorijama Umjetnica godine, najbolji video i omiljenu ženku pop umjetnicu. U nastavku pogledajte popis svih dobitnika.
