The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) have officially wrapped up, and what a night it was! Hosted by the unstoppable Jennifer Lopez at the iconic Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the biggest fan-voted music awards show crowned its winners, celebrating the year’s most iconic artists and albums.
If you missed the live show, don’t worry – here’s the full scoop on who won big and which artists were honored in each category.
Kendrick Lamar came into the night as the artist to watch, leading the pack with a whopping 10 nominations. If he managed to sweep all his categories, he’d tie legends Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for most AMAs won in a single year. But there were plenty of other big names and breakout stars fighting for trophies, including Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and the recent PEOPLE cover star Shaboozey.
The night was packed with killer performances from JLo herself, Benson Boone, Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Renée Rapp, Alex Warren, Becky G, and Manuel Turizo. The ceremony also honored legendary icons Janet Jackson, Rod Stewart, and Zac Brown with special achievement awards. Presenters ranged from celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Ciara to viral stars like Kai Cenat and TikTok phenom Shaboozey.
