BTS Accepts the 2021 American Music Award for Artist of the Year - The American Music Awards
they used to be so scared of the mic and now they’re all fighting for it lmao 😭

The show celebrated the best popular music for a second pandemic year with a mix of live and pre-taped performances. Silk Sonic's Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak kicked off the awards on a funky, R&B and pre-taped note with their "Smokin Out the Window" and Jennifer Lopez pre-taped her "On My Way" from her upcoming romantic comedy "Marry Me."

The favorite Latin album went to Bad Bunny's "El Último Tour Del Mundo."

Host Cardi B, wearing a constant stream of new outfits, revved up the crowd. Later her song "Up" was named favorite hip-hop song. The Associated Press was not able to transmit images of Cardi B while she was onstage because her representatives required approval, a restriction the AP would not accept.
