BTS, Doja Cat, and Megan Thee Stallion scoop up wins at the 2021 American Music Awards

On Sunday, international K-pop group BTS won Artist of the Year at the 2021 American Music Awards. In addition to their several wins, BTS took the stage to close out the ceremony with a performance of their hit “Butter,” which won the award for Favorite Pop Song.

Rappers Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion and were both big winners of the evening, each grabbing three awards of their own. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continues to raise the bar for the most AMA wins in history after earning the award for Favorite Female Pop Artist.

Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak ) opened the Cardi B-hosted event, performing “Smokin’ Out The Window” from their newly released album, An Evening With Silk Sonic. Best New Artist winner Olivia Rodrigo also took the stage with her guitar in hand for her performance of “traitor” from SOUR.

Not to mention, Jennifer Lopez delivered some movie promo with her performance of “On My Way,” wedding dress and all. The track will appear in her upcoming film Marry Me, in which she stars opposite Owen Wilson.

The full slate of last night’s performers included: BTS and Coldplay, Chlöe, Måneskin, Carrie Underwood and Jason Aldean, Tyler, the creator, Walker Hayes, Bad Bunny with Tainy and Julieta Venegas, and Kane Brown. Music producer Diplo served as the AMA’s first-ever musical curator, serving as the event’s DJ throughout the night.

The 2021 American Music Awards managed to keep their live viewership relatively close to last year’s, but it was still only the fifth-highest rated program of the evening. According to Deadline, The Simpsons narrowly outperformed the AMAs, with Sunday Night Football landing at the top slot for the evening.
