Some of the biggest stars in music are about to light up the red carpet for the American Music Awards tonight. CBS LA will host a special pre-show featuring Kalyna Astrinos and Grae Drake as celebrities arrive at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. This broadcast runs from 4 to 5 PM PDT and is also available for streaming on CBS News Los Angeles.
The American Music Awards (AMAs) is renowned as the largest fan-voted awards show globally. Following the red carpet event, the main show will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
This year, the host is Queen Latifah, marking her return to the AMAs 30 years after she co-hosted the event in 1995. Fans can still vote online or through Instagram for the social song of the year and tour of the year until the show begins.
Taylor Swift leads with eight nominations, mainly for her album “The Life of a Showgirl,” which is up for best pop album and album of the year. With 40 AMA wins to her name, she’s the record holder for the most wins ever.
Other notable nominees include Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Dean, and Sombr, each with seven nominations. This year’s performance lineup is star-studded, featuring Billy Idol, Keith Urban, Teyana Taylor, and the K-pop sensation BTS, who is making a surprise return after a four-year hiatus.
The AMAs bring a mix of genres and unexpected performances, offering fans a glimpse of their favorite artists and an opportunity to celebrate music together. It’s not just about awards; it’s a night where music truly unites us.
