Honestly, no one was really surprised, considering how much she’s been killing it lately. Her album Hit Me Hard and Soft bagged Album of the Year, and she also took home Favorite Touring Artist. It’s clear that Billie’s been on top of her game, and the AMA wins reflect that.
Gracie Abrams Takes Home New Artist of the Year
Gracie Abrams, known for her breakout hit That’s So True, was named New Artist of the Year. It’s kind of a big deal for her, especially with the rise she’s had over the past couple of years. She was super humble in her virtual acceptance speech, thanking her fans and saying how much this means to her. It’s great to see fresh talent getting the recognition they deserve.
Other Noteworthy Winners
A few other artists grabbed awards that were well-deserved:
-
SZA took home Favorite Female R&B Artist and Favorite R&B Song for Saturn.
-
Becky G was named Favorite Female Latin Artist, which is awesome to see in the current Latin music boom.
-
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars won Collaboration of the Year for their hit Die With a Smile.

Performers and Presenters
The show wasn’t just about the awards. There were some unforgettable performances too, with Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and Lainey Wilson all taking the stage. As for presenters, you had people like Blake Shelton, Megan Moroney, and Tiffany Haddish doing the honors. It was an all-star lineup that definitely kept things exciting.
A Few Surprises
Although Billie’s dominance wasn’t unexpected, there were definitely some surprises. For one, Beyoncé won Favorite Female Country Artist, which raised a few eyebrows considering she’s not really known for country music. Plus, a lot of big names like Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar were absent from the ceremony, which had people wondering what was going on with that.
Looking Forward
All in all, the 2025 American Music Awards showed how dynamic the music industry is right now. From big names like Billie Eilish and SZA to rising stars like Gracie Abrams, the night was a reminder of how much talent is out there. The fan votes played a big role in the wins, which just goes to show that these artists are really connecting with their audiences. It’ll be interesting to see how these trends play out in the years to come.
