Το βράδυ της Τρίτης πραγματοποιήθηκε η 46η τελετή των American Music Awards με παρουσιάστρια την Αμερικανίδα ηθοποιό Tracee Ellis Ross.
Οι μεγάλοι νικητές ήταν γένους θηλυκού, καθώς η Taylor Swift και η Camila Cabello κέρδισαν από τέσσερα βραβεία η καθεμιά. Μάλιστα, η Tay ξεπέρασε και την Whitney Houston όσον αφορά την γυναίκα με τις περισσότερες νίκες.
Η 28χρονη ήταν και η πρώτη καλλιτέχνης που εμφανίστηκε στη σκηνή, ενώ στη συνέχεια ακολούθησαν και η Mariah Carey, η Jennifer Lopez, η Camila Cabello και η Cardi B με τον J Balvin.
Στα αξιοσημείωτα της βραδιάς ήταν το αφιέρωμα στην Aretha Franklin, το οποίο παρουσίασαν οι Gladys Knight, Ledisi, Mary Mary, Donnie McClurking και CeCe Winans.
