The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) lit up the Fontainebleau with a star-studded celebration of musical excellence, where
Billie Eilish emerged as the night’s undisputed queen, sweeping all seven categories she was nominated in — including the coveted Artist of the Year.
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter also took home Song of the Year and Favorite Pop Song for “Birds of a Feather,” as well as Favorite Pop Album for Hit Me Hard and Soft. She also clinched Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, and Album of the Year, a newly introduced category.

Among other major winners, SZA picked up Favourite Female R&B Artist and Favourite R&B Song for her hit “Saturn,” while
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars shared trophies for Collaboration of the Year and Favourite Music Video with their infectious duet “Die With a Smile.” Gaga also walked away with Favourite Dance/Electronic Artist, while Mars secured Favourite Male Pop Artist.
Eminem added to the hip-hop heat with wins for Favourite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Favourite Hip-Hop Album for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). In a rare video message, the rap legend thanked fans and the AMAs for their continued support.
Beyoncé made history by winning Favourite Female Country Artist and Favourite Country Album for Cowboy Carter, marking her crossover into the country genre with critical and commercial acclaim.
One of the night’s most moving moments came with
Janet Jackson’s return to the stage after seven years. Honoured with the Icon Award, Jackson delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech in which she downplayed her status as an icon, attributing her success to family, faith, and hard work. “This would have only happened in America,” she said. “Our dream was never to be famous — it was about love for music, dance, and singing.”
The night's biggest snub was for
Taylor Swift. The singer who wrapped up possibly the biggest tour in music history, lost out in all her categories to Billie Eilish.
