Glitter, chaos, and a surprise kiss—guess which pop queen stole the AMAs spotlight? Dive into the wildest moments, jaw-dropping wins, and fashion face-offs of the 2025 American Music Awards. Spoiler: someone wore what might be an Elvis-Disney hybrid.
Ladies, gents, and Gen Z trendsetters – the 2025 American Music Awards exploded onto the scene on May 26 like Billie Eilish into a haunted dollhouse (which, by the way, is a vibe she could pull off). Hosted by the timeless queen Jennifer Lopez, this year’s AMAs, held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, had it all: killer performances, emotional speeches, jaw-dropping fashion, and enough glitter to blind an astronaut.
Billie Eilish: Queen of the Night
Let’s talk about the biggest winner of the evening. Billie Eilish didn't just sweep—she mopped the floor with the competition. Walking away with seven trophies including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (Hit Me Hard and Soft), and Song of the Year (“Birds of a Feather”), Billie proved once again that whisper-pop is here to stay. Honestly, at this point, someone needs to rename the awards the "Billie Music Awards."
Janet Jackson's Icon Moment
If you didn’t cry during Janet Jackson’s emotional Icon Award tribute and her first TV performance in seven years, you might be a robot. Dressed in classic Janet chic, she served “Someone to Call My Lover” and “All for You” like it was 2001 all over again.
Performances That Melted Our Faces (In a Good Way)
Gwen Stefani threw it back to the early 2000s with a medley of “Swallow My Tears,” “The Sweet Escape,” and of course, “Hollaback Girl.” No bananas were harmed.
Gloria Estefan brought the Latin heat with “Conga,” “La Vecina (No Sé Na'),” and “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You.” Yes, she still slaps.
Lainey Wilson made every cowboy cry with her tender ballad “Somewhere Over Laredo.” Yeehaw and pass the tissues.
Honorable Mentions & Award Surprises
Gracie Abrams took home New Artist of the Year, beating out TikTok darlings Chappell Roan and Shaboozey.
Kendrick Lamar, despite ten nominations, only snagged one win—for Favorite Hip-Hop Song with “Not Like Us.” Justice for Kung Fu Kenny?
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars won hearts and three awards each with their unexpected (and fabulous) collab “Die With a Smile.”
Rod Stewart won the Lifetime Achievement Award and crooned “Forever Young,” while the audience wept into their champagne flutes.
Zac Brown earned the Veterans Voice Award, a new honor celebrating artists giving back to the community. Respect.
The Red Carpet Rodeo: Fashion Wins & Woes
Let’s be honest: the AMAs red carpet is where celebs let their freak flags fly.
Ciara and Machine Gun Kelly served looks that were equal parts fashion-forward and mildly terrifying—in a good way!
Heidi Montag gave us “Elvis meets Disney” energy, which is... a choice.
Shaboozey wore what could only be described as “chaos in fabric form.” But hey, it’s the AMAs. Go big or go to the afterparty.
This year’s American Music Awards 2025 didn’t just raise the bar—they pole-vaulted over it. With genre-blurring performances, emotional tributes, and enough celebrity drama to keep Twitter alive another year, it reminded us all why live music events still matter. Until next year, keep your glitter handy and your playlists updated.
