What to Expect From the 2017 American Music Awards

It’s that time of year again to gather, celebrate, and jam out to some of our favorite artists at the world’s largest fan voted award show, the American Music Awards!

We all remember the moment Bruno Mars dropped his hottest singles “24K Magic” and “That’s What I Like” or the moment the world was introduced to teen sensation Khalid.

 

But who are we kidding, let’s be HUMBLE and thank the heavens above for Kendrick Lamar’s epic album.

 

Not to mention the Queen Bey teaming up with J Balvin and Willy William on the irresistible track, “Mi Gente”, to give back to Texas and Puerto Rico after recent tragedies.

 

This only scrapes the surface of the pure genius the music industry has unleashed. So, let’s get into what we can expect from this year’s show- you won’t want to miss it!
