American Music Awards 2026 Winners
THE 52ND AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS NOMINEES
wish the pussycat dolls didn't just cancel their tour!!!!! like forgot how many bangers they have!!! like damn, they should just rescheduled their tour for next year
Kinda feels like a. slow award show but like I know BTS, was awesome and Sombr this new kid sounds great live, but damnn love a throwback. Hootie was also fun,
Als can't believe they started off with the song of the year being Golden: great song, and was everywhere on the radio, swore it was probably gunna be Manchild with Sabrina being everywhere. but Golden is such a cute catchy song
Best Rock/alt artists being the pilots makes too much sense, there really hasn't been a huge act in a minute out of that group, maybe Linkin? or sleep token
Somber being best alt song was really cute, he sounds amazing live young talent, excited to see where he goes from here
Aw cute seeing Leon win, and shouting out the victorious fanbase so cute! break through artists r&b for sure for sure.
Karol G was perfect during coachella and brought a different vibe almost to the ward show, wonder if her tour is gunna be more like this?
Karol G was perfect during coachella and brought a different vibe almost to the ward show, wonder if her tour is gunna be more like this?
is she like the next Shakira? feels very Shakira, during coachella felt it was paying more homage to the Spanish culture, this felt so Shakira, with the outfit dancing, simplicity of her performance. feels like more of a grammy performance maybe?
in my mind, those are more polished and more showcasey where the AMAs is kinda like just a smaller awards, great show tho! not super familiar with her but she's doing stadium tours so like that's huge huge!
she also won latin best album as well as winning international artist award honor.
best throwback song seemed to be presented by social medial im sure like TikTok trends and such , the Black Eyed Peas won for Rkock that body which im sure is a huge dance trend or something? not sure, I should probably get on TikTok....congrats tho! im sure those royalty checks are loveddddd
Twenty One Pilots performed and they always sound lovely, BTS arrived to give SZA award for best female r&b artists, the room got loudddd when BTS got on stage like so so loud.
Pinky Up was a cute song by Katseye, kinda wild they're touring now, I feel like they are such a new new group. Sombr got best rock/alt album. oh Riley green performed and Twenty One Pilots.
Keith urban performs, honestly ooo wait he's singing summer breeze???? best yacht rock song....perfect for the memorial day weekend!
song of the summer isssss BTS Swim, they do have a huge fanbase so totally totally makes sense, and they're currently on a huge stadium tour, so the fans are plugged in to everything BTS, proud of them I think, this is their comeback tour and they all seem like a great group of guys.
I would have picked Midnight Sun by Zara but like BTS has a huge huge huge fanbase so completely makes sense they won lol.
teyana Taylor performed and I feel bad but just never knew she was a singer...
new artist of the year honestly I feel like it could be any of them, they're all the topic their genre. but the winner is Katseye, huge for their up coming tour, and sometimes people can't believe how popular they really are but im telling you, their coachella set and fans were everywhereeeee like largest audience for sure like went all the way to the dolab!
teddy swings has to be one of the best live people everrrr like don't know a lot of his stuff but I have to catch his full live set or concert. Mr Know it all sounds like a fun easy song to sing along to .
BTS won artist of the year, they have a massive fanbase so well deserved fans! well deserved artists and team! and billy idol put on the best performance love him!! great energy!
