The American Music Awards are being held in Los Angeles tonight with host Pitbull. Taylor Swift opened up the show with the live debut of her new single “Blank Space.” On Twitter before the show, Swift promised that it was “gonna be crazy. No like, actually crazy.” Judge for yourself. Charli XCX did a medley of “Boom Clap” and “Break The Rules” and brought out some goth-inspired background dancers.
Lorde performed her Hunger Games song “Yellow Flicker Beat” on live TV for the first time. Sam Smith and A$AP Rocky did “I’m Not The Only One” and the Weeknd came out with Ariana Grande for “Love Me Harder.” Waka Flocka Flame did a weed-themed commercial for throat drops. Lil Wayne debuted a new track with Christina Milian and Nicki Minaj performed her new single “Bed Of Lies” with Skylar Grey. Swift was handed the first ever Dick Clark Award For Excellence by Diana Ross. See performances plus the winners list below, and check out pictures above.
American Music Awards – i’m not really feeling the “american” or “music” bit of this thing, but i’m happy they get awards. i get the odd award every now and again, and it feels nice. i’m sure they feel similar.
