The 2025 American Music Awards, which will take place this Monday, on May 26, are almost here!
Hosted by the one and only Jennifer Lopez, the night will surely include some memorable performances, touching speeches and, of course, some incredible red carpet looks.
Leading the nominations this year is “Not Like Us” singer Kendrick Lamar with 10 nominations. Post Malone and Billie Eilish follow closely behind with eight, while Chappell Roan and Shaboozey earned seven nods each. The night will also have two major honorees: Janet Jackson, who will be given the Icon Award, and Rod Stewart, who will win the Lifetime Achievement Award.
In addition to Jackson and Stewart taking the stage for performances, the awards show will also see performances by Benson Boone, Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Lainey Wilson, and Reneé Rapp. What a night!
In preparation for Monday’s event, we’ve decided to take a trip down memory lane to some of our favorite AMA red carpet moments of years past. From Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s double denim moment in 2001, Taylor Swift’s disco ball look in 2018, we’ve seen it all!
