The 2020 American Music Awards is en route to being the biggest TV event of the year thanks to the growing list of high profile stars set to present or perform at its 48th annual ceremony, which will air live on ABC Sunday (November 22).
Sending fans into a frenzy with the announcement Academy and EMMY-Award nominated actress Taraji P. Henson had been tapped host the affair from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles (as we reported here), now music lovers have even more reason to tune in thanks to reports Canadian hitmakers Justin Bieber The Weeknd are set to rock its stage.
Details inside:
Thanks to their respective 2020 chart-topping albums, ‘Changes’ and ‘After Hours,’ Bieber and The Weeknd (born Abel Tesfaye) not only dominated the Billboard 200 but also saw those projects spawn multiple Hot 100 hits. As the year’s top-performing male acts, it’s only fitting they bring their brigade of bops to the AMAs stage.
While Justin is likely to perform his latest top 20 hit, ‘Lonely,’ Tesfaye will reportedly crank out a Kenny G-assisted rendition of his top 20 smash, ‘In Your Eyes,’ and also give the first televised performance of ‘After Hours’ cut, ‘Save Your Tears.’
Bieber and The Weeknd’s addition fills out an already star-studded performance roster for the telecast, which includes previously announced performers Dua Lipa, BTS, Nelly, Megan Thee Stallion, Shawn Mendes, Lil Baby, and many more.
