American Music Awards 2025: Discover who the winners are

–

Billie Eilish was the great winner of the American Music Awards Monday night.

Eilish was not present at the gala due to his tour, but won the seven awards he was nominated, including artist of the year, album of the year and song of the year.

Beyoncé won two loves to the favorite country artist and the favorite country album, marking the first time she is awarded in the country music category. Other winners were Kendrick Lamar, who obtained a mistress to the favorite hip-hop song for “Not Like Us”, and Sza, who took two awards to the favorite song of R&B and the favorite female artist of R&B.

The presenter Jennifer Lopez inaugurated the show with an energetic dance number with a potpourri that included a mixture of songs by Beyoncé, Eilish, Shaboozey, Chappell Roan and more.

Janet Jackson received the 2025 icon award and held his first television performance in seven years, performing songs like “Suball To Call My Lover” and “All for You.”

“My family and I never dream of being famous. They did not raise us like this. We always had a special love for music, dance and song, and fame came with hard work and dedication,” Jackson said in accepting his prize. “My story, the history of my family, is truly an American story. This would only have happened in the United States.”

Sir Rod Stewart was awarded the trajectory award and closed the show with the interpretation of “Forever Young”. Blake Shelton, Benson Boone, Gloria Estefan, Lainey Wilson, Gwen Stefani and Reneé Rapp, among others, also acted during the transmission.

The Ama, which were held on the day of the fallen, associated with the Easy Day Foundation, which supports veterans who are in transition to civil life after military service. To commemorate the moment, a group of veterans were invited to live recording, who were highlighted by Zac Brown and Ciara, respectively, during the program.
