This year’s ceremony will gather the hottest young musicians and the top legends in the biz for a magical night of great music, show-stopping fashions and memorable awards moments.
Last year’s show was helmed by Cardi B, with BTS, Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion winning three awards each. The “Bodak Yellow” crooner made AMA history in the past as the first female rapper to win the award for favorite hip-hop song twice.
The 30-year-old Cardi first appeared on the AMAs stage in 2018, when she performed “I Like It alongside J Balvin and Bad Bunny.
The late TV producer Dick Clark created the show in 1973, and ABC has been the home of the event since 1974.
