Billie Eilish led the winners for the 2025 American Music Awards, the largest fan-voted awards show, which returned with host and performer Jennifer Lopez in Sin City’s Fontainebleau luxury resort following a two-year hiatus. The nine-time Grammy and two-time Oscar winner was triumphant in all seven of her nominated categories.
Despite leading nominations with a total of 10 nods and having a banner year, Kendrick Lamar won only a single category, Favorite Hip-Hop Song, with smash hit “Not Like Us.”
New categories this year included Album of the Year and Song of the Year, both won by Eilish, as well as Social Song of the Year, which Doechii’s “Anxiety” claimed.
Artists Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Post Malone, SZA, The Weeknd and Twenty One Pilots all took home multiple trophies.
Performers during the ceremony included Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Reneé Rapp, Benson Boone, and Lainey Wilson, and Janet Jackson was the recipient of the Icon Award for her legacy in music. Rod Stewart, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award, closed out the evening with an energetic performance. (See who walked the red carpet in their finery here.)
The CBS and Dick Clark Productions fete aired live coast-to-coast at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, Paramount+ and Harmony, Deadline’s parent company Penske Media’s proprietary live streaming platform.
