Billie Eilish AMAs 2025 Sweep Stuns Fans and Celebs Alike
Sin City’s Fontainebleau was on fire Sunday night as the American Music Awards made a grand return with glitz, glam, and pure star power. Hosted by the iconic Jennifer Lopez, the fan-voted awards show returned from a two-year break with a bang—and no one shined brighter than Billie Eilish.
The “Birds of a Feather” hitmaker pulled off a massive sweep, winning all seven categories she was nominated in, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (Hit Me Hard and Soft), and Song of the Year. With that, the 9-time Grammy and 2-time Oscar winner firmly cemented her pop dominance.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar, who led the pack with 10 nominations, walked away with only one award for Favorite Hip-Hop Song with “Not Like Us.” Fans weren’t shy about voicing their shock, especially given his phenomenal year.
New Categories, Big Surprises
2025 brought in new categories like Social Song of the Year, which went to Doechii’s raw and powerful track “Anxiety.” Other artists like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Post Malone, and The Weeknd also left the night with multiple wins.
A Starry Night of Performances
The performances didn’t disappoint. Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Reneé Rapp, and Lainey Wilson lit up the stage, while Rod Stewart, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award, closed the show in full rockstar style. Janet Jackson, this year’s Icon Award recipient, was celebrated for her legendary legacy and contributions to music.
The 2025 AMAs aired live on CBS, Paramount+, and Penske Media’s Harmony platform. It wasn’t just a celebration of music—it was a night of statement wins, emotional performances, and unexpected snubs that fans won’t stop talking about anytime soon.
