The 2019 American Music Awards did NOT disappoint. The biggest names in music were nominated for top honors at this year’s show, and many of them went home with a handful of awards.
The 2019 American Music Awards was one of the biggest nights in music, and with the list winners, it’s obvious why. The 2019 AMAs on Nov. 24 featured performances from some of the hottest musicians of the moment, including Christina Aguilera, Travis Scott, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, Camila Cabello, Selena Gomez, Green Day and more. Ciara was also hosting the show, so that was a nice little bonus.
For 2019, Post Malone was at the top of the nominations list, with seven. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish each scored six nods. And Taylor Swift became the winningest person in AMAs history that evening when she took home her 25th AMA and beat Michael Jackson‘s previous record of 24.
