The 2025 American Music Awards, broadcast live from the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, honored some of the most prominent figures in the music industry this year.
Hosted by Jennifer Lopez, the event featured standout performances and awards for Billie Eilish, Beyoncé, Post Malone, SZA, and Eminem.
Although Eilish missed the event due to her ongoing world tour, she emerged victorious with seven awards, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, among others.
Beyoncé won accolades for Favourite Female Country Artist and Favourite Country Album, while SZA claimed awards for Favourite R&B Song and Favourite Female R&B Artist.
Eminem secured his first AMA in a decade and a half for Favourite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Favourite Hip-hop Album, while Post Malone nabbed awards for Favourite Male Country Artist and Favourite Country Song.
Additional winners included Becky G as Favourite Female Latin Artist, RM as Favourite K-Pop Artist, Doechii for Social Song of the Year, Gracie Abrams for Best New Artist, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for Favourite Music Video and Collaboration of the Year.
Janet Jackson delivered a medley of her biggest hits and was presented with the Icon Award, humbly stating she does not see herself as an icon.
“I’m deeply appreciative. No disrespect intended, but I don’t view myself as an icon. My family and I never sought fame; we were raised differently,” Jackson remarked. “Our passion was always for music, dancing, and singing, and fame was a byproduct of our hard work and dedication.”
Rod Stewart concluded the evening with his rendition of “Forever Young,” receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award surrounded by his children.
“I’m completely astonished; I had no idea they were here,” he expressed. “When I began singing in the early 60s, long before most of you were around, my sole ambition was to sing. Wealth and fame were never my goals, and years later, I find myself here.”
