The 2025 American Music Awards took place in Las Vegas, with Jennifer Lopez opening the ceremony with a high-energy dance medley, while Taylor Swift's absence was notable, leaving her fans disappointed and curious about her whereabouts.
The night was filled with notable performances, including Janet Jackson's triumphant return to live TV, accepting her ICON award and performing a few songs. Other female performers, such as Lopez and Gwen Stefani, demonstrated their enduring talent and energy. The ceremony also featured performances by various artists, including Benson Boone and SZA, who made a bold fashion statement with her pasties.
The awards ceremony saw Billie Eilish taking home the Artist of the Year award, as well as Favorite Pop Artist and Favorite Pop Song. Kendrick Lamar earned 10 nominations but only won one award for Favorite Hip-Hop Song. Post Malone won two awards, including Favorite Country Song and Favorite Male Country Artist. Despite being nominated in six categories, Taylor Swift did not receive any awards, and her absence from the event was attributed to her desire to avoid dealing with questions about her ongoing lawsuit with Blake Lively.
An insider revealed that Swift has been keeping a low profile, enjoying time with her boyfriend Travis Kelce in Boca Raton, Florida, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The couple has been avoiding the limelight and has not been seen at high-profile events. Despite the absence of any awards, Swift is reportedly happy for Billie Eilish, who won the Artist of the Year award, and is said to be working on new music and albums, with insiders hinting that future wins are "inevitable."
The 2025 American Music Awards was a night to remember, with notable performances and awards given to deserving artists. While Taylor Swift's absence was notable, her fans remain loyal and excited for her future projects, and the music industry continues to thrive with talented artists like Billie Eilish and Jennifer Lopez.
