AMAs 2025: Complete Winners List, Red-Carpet Highlights & Viral Performances at the American Music Awards
• Hot Trendy News
The 51st Annual American Music Awards arrive today, May 26, 2025, lighting up the brand-new Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort with a primetime broadcast on CBS and a simultaneous Paramount+ stream at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Host & red-carpet highlights
Jennifer Lopez returns to emcee the ceremony a decade after her fan-favorite 2015 stint, promising a high-octane opening dance sequence before presenters like Gwen Stefani, Janet Jackson and Rod Stewart hand out the year’s crystal pyramids. E! kicks off live red-carpet coverage at 5:30 p.m. ET, with looks from Beyoncé, Post Malone, Billie Eilish and more expected to dominate social feeds.
Nomination leaders
• Kendrick Lamar – 10 nods, including Artist, Album and Song of the Year
• Post Malone – 8
• Billie Eilish – 7
• Chappell Roan – 7
• Shaboozey – 7
• Taylor Swift – 6
Hot performance lineup
Billboard confirms stage sets from Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Ice Spice, Bad Bunny, Jonas Brothers and a surprise K-pop collaboration teased by AMAs execs. A special 20-year tribute to Usher’s “Confessions” album will feature Usher, Summer Walker and Miguel.
How to watch & stream
• TV: CBS (local station or cable/satellite)
• Streaming: Paramount+ (Essential and Premium tiers) with a free-trial option for new users
• International: check regional affiliates or theamas.com for territory-specific feeds
Fan voting & social media tips
Voting closed May 20 via theamas.com and TikTok, where the #AMAs2025 hashtag surpassed 4 billion views. Real-time winner reveals will roll out across X, Threads and Instagram Stories, so enable notifications for @AMAs to catch trophy moments seconds before they air.
What’s at stake
Last year’s AMAs were skipped due to schedule conflicts with the Billboard Music Awards; tonight resets the franchise on Memorial Day, positioning the telecast as the summer’s first blockbuster music event. With genres spanning hip-hop, country, Latin and Afrobeats, the 2025 ceremony aims to reflect streaming-era diversity while keeping its 1970s fan-voted spirit alive.
Stay tuned after the credits
CBS will immediately stream an exclusive backstage special on Paramount+ featuring first reactions from winners, making-of footage from performers and a sneak peek at the 2026 voting timetable.
