The American Music Awards 2020 were held earlier tonight live at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
The Taraji P. Henson-hosted ceremony had many-a-highlight thanks to jaw-dropping performances from the likes of Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, BTS, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, and many more (as we reported here), but the biggest star of the show – as expected – remained the awards themselves.

How tf is Doja cat the winner for soul music
Congratulations to my girls Doja Cat for winning Best New Artist and FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST – SOUL/R&B
And also to Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj for winning best Rap Artist
Also to Taylor Slayswift for extending her awards accolades
Congrats to Dua on winning her first AMA. Happy that The Weekend , Nicki, Doha and Meg won.
*Doja
Doja Cat and The Weeknd are not soul artist. Wtf they don’t even sing like that fr. They could’ve given that award to an actual soul singer.
That’s like BET nominating and giving Lady GaGa “Best Country Artist” even though she clearly does not sing country. It’s so prejudice
you guys should stop watching the AMas duh or maybe your black artists should stop going to the show then..duhhhhhhh
All of the winners are invited to the royal party. Congrats! 🙂
Justin Bieber, The Prince of Pop, has extended his AMA wins to 18, tying Lionel Richie with only Kenny Rogers and Michael Jackson ahead of them in the solo male category and Taylor Swift now has 32 (I think) extending her lead of most AMA wins in history. Noted royalty The Weeknd and Lady Gaga add to their AMA totals as well. I’m sure there will be articles written about this. 🙂

#ON-Another-LEVEL-2020 🙂
The fact that Doja Cat was nominated in a Soul/R&B category is baffling!! It’s shows how f****** out of touch these award shows are. Jhene, Kehlani and Summer ran R&B this year. Those shoulda been the nominees. Wow.
The Weekend and Doja Cat aren’t rnb artists lol🤦♂️
gurrl a mess, another reason no one takes these stupid award shows serious
hoja cat is a man in drag but hey hes not stealing from nicki or megan..we will give him that
Justina buying awards again I see
