The American Music Awards made a major comeback in 2025 after a two-year break, with Billie Eilish stealing the spotlight by winning all seven of her nominations, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “Birds of a Feather,” and Album of the Year for Hit Me Hard and Soft.
Though absent, Billie expressed heartfelt thanks via video. Kendrick Lamar, despite leading with ten nominations, won only for Favorite Hip-Hop Song with “Not Like Us.”
Eminem surprised by beating him in two key hip-hop categories.
SZA won two R&B awards, Beyoncé took home a country award, Gracie Abrams was named New Artist of the Year, and Janet Jackson received the Icon Award.
Billie’s seven-award sweep cements her place in music history.
