America came to a standstill last night for the 2020 American Music Awards. The fan-voted event, which came to live from the Los Angeles Microsoft Theater was hosted by Golden Globes winning actress Taraji P. Henson with a small live audience.
Amidst the delivery of striking performances tagged along big wins for some of the year’s biggest names in the industry. Breaking her own AMA record again was Taylor Swift, who took home the highest mention of the night, Artiste of the Year plus Favorite Music Video for ‘Cardigan’ and Favorite Female Artiste (Pop/Rock). Swift now shelves 32 AMAs, the most wins by any artist in history.
Swift was not present in person to receive her three bagged trophies as she is currently busy re-recording her old albums from the studio she recorded them earlier in her career. A confirmation she made clear in an acceptance video she taped for her Artist of the Year glory.
The Weeknd, who went into the night as one of the most nominated artists of the 2020 AMAs (8) alongside Roddy Ricch, ended the evening with three wins in the categories of; Favorite Male Artist (Soul/R&B), Favorite Album ‘After Hours’ (Soul/R&B) and Favorite Song ‘Heartless’ (Soul/R&B). Ricch however, took home one AMA title in the Favorite Album (RAP/HIP-HOP) for ‘Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial’.
Other winners of the night include, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Lady Gaga, Becky G, Bad Bunny, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat and others. The AMAs is produced by Dick Clark Productions, which also organizes other major award ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, Billboard Music Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards.
