The 2025 American Music Awards turned up the heat at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on May 26, with fans picking their faves in a lively show hosted by Jennifer Lopez. Billie Eilish was the night’s superstar, sweeping all seven categories she was up for, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year for her catchy “Birds of a Feather.”

Key Highlights:

• Billie Eilish steals the show with seven AMA wins, including Artist and Song of the Year
• Janet Jackson stuns with comeback performance as she receives the Icon Award at 59
• Beyoncé and Eminem double up, while Taylor Swift skips, leaving fans speculating

Eilish’s album Hit Me Hard and Soft scored big, nabbing both Album of the Year and Favorite Pop Album. Even though it hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200, her fans clearly couldn’t get enough. Beyoncé and Eminem each snagged two awards: Beyoncé won Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album for Cowboy Carter, while Eminem took home Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Hip-Hop Album for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).

The night had some super sweet moments too. Rod Stewart was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, handed to him by five of his eight kids, which totally warmed everyone’s hearts. At 59, Janet Jackson got the Icon Award and blew everyone away with her first live TV performance in seven years. Lopez got the party started with a six-minute dance mashup of 23 hits, including Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” which won Favorite Music Video and Collaboration of the Year.
