Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna
and One Direction all won multiple trophies at the American Music
Awards, last night. Swift took home four trophies, including Artist of
the Year. "I'm 23 and I have no idea what's going to happen to me in my
life," she said in her acceptance speech. "But if [the fans] decided on
something as wonderful as this [award], then we're pretty much in it
together."
In addition to the awards, the show featured performances by Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Kendrick Lamar, One Direction and Luke Bryan. Rihanna performed the song "Diamonds," off her latest album Unapologetic, before accepting the show's first-ever Icon Award. Lady Gaga put on a JFK–Marilyn Monroe-like show in which she and R. Kelly played out a presidential tryst before launching into their duet, "Do What U Want." Jennifer Lopez performed a tribute to Celia Cruz. Justin Timberlake wielded an acoustic guitar for his bluesy, rockish number "Drink You Away." And Florida Georgia Line traded verses with Nelly on the country duo's "Cruise" and the rapper's "Ride Wit Me." Other performers included Imagine Dragons, Ariana Grande, Maklemore and Ryan Lewis, Pitbull featuring Ke$ha, Christina Aguilera and Ian Axel, and TLC with Lil Mama filling in for Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.
