The 2021 American Music Awards took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Calif. Sunday (Nov. 21). Superstar rapper Cardi B hosted the big night.
This year, first-time nominee Olivia Rodrigo was the most-nominated artist with seven nominations. The Weeknd came in second with six nominations, while Doja Cat, Bad Bunny and Given were tied with five apiece. The show aired live at 8 PM ET on ABC.
Nominees were selected by “key fan interactions” through the Billboard charts, streaming, album sales and radio play. Winners were then selected via fan votes through various online and social media voting methods.
The AMAs launched three new categories this year: Favorite Trending Song, Favorite Gospel Artist and Favorite Latin Duo/Group.
On Sunday morning, Megan Thee Stallion announced via Twitter that she had to pull out of her scheduled collaboration with BTS.
“I was so excited to go to the @AMAs and perform with @BTS_official, but due to an unexpected personal matter, I can no longer attend,” she wrote.
