The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) took place in Las Vegas on Monday, May 26. The 51st edition of the annual award ceremony was hosted by none other than pop icon Jennifer Lopez. The 55-year-old singer-actress also put out a racy performance with some headline-grabbing moments that left the internet talking. Rapper Kendrick Lamar, who basically dominated 2024 with his much-talked-about beef with Drake, led the nominations with 10 nods. However, Billie Eilish was the biggest winner of the night, winning in all seven categories in which she was nominated. On the other hand, Taylor Swift, who holds the record for the most wins in AMA history, didn't receive any awards despite six nominations. Indeed, a sad day for Swifties. BTS' RM took home the Favourite K-Pop Artiste award, beating BLACKPINK's Rose and Stray Kids among others.  AMAs 2025: Nora Fatehi Oozes Oomph in Leopard Print Dress at 51st American Music Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas (Watch Video).
