The American Music Awards brought together all different genres for one of music’s biggest nights! According to repost on EOnline.com, Tracee Ellis-Ross returned to host the annual ceremony, known by pop culture fanatics as the music industry’s largest fan-voted award show.
This time around, Cardi B and Drake lead the nominations with eight mentions each. Other notable AMAs contenders include Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello and Post Malone.

Reputation singer, Taylor Swift created history by breaking her own record for the highest-grossing U.S. tour by a woman to cleaning up at the American Music Awards. The pop star, who opened the show with a choreo-heavy, snake-filled performance of I Did Something Bad from last year’s Reputation, topped Whitney Houston’s record for the most AMA wins by a female artist in the program’s history, taking home four trophies (tour of the year, favorite album — pop/rock, favorite female artist — pop/rock and artist of the year) and bringing her grand total to 23.

“Every single time I win an award, it means something different,” Swift said while accepting the artist of the year award, the final honour of the night. “This one represents encouragement and motivation for me to be better and work harder and try to make you guys proud.”
