The 2022 American Music Awards airs Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, hosted by Wayne Brady. Bad Bunny leads the pool of nominees with eight nods, followed by Beyoncé, Drake and Taylor Swift with six each. The Weeknd, Adele, and Harry Styles each have five nominations.
This year’s awards show introduced some new categories this year, including Favorite Afrobeat Artist, K-pop Artist, Rock Song and Rock Album, while Favorite Touring Artist and Soundtrack returned after being left out during the pandemic.
Lionel Richie, who has won 17 AMA Awards throughout his prestigious career, will receive the Icon Award. Stevie Wonder, Charlie Puth and Ari Lennox will perform a variety of songs from Richie’s extensive catalog. Pink will also pay tribute to Olivia Newton-John, who died in August of breast cancer.
Other artists of the night included Anitta, Bebe Rexha, David Guetta, Dove Cameron, GloRilla, Lil Baby, Carrie Underwood, Imagine Dragons, JID, Yola and DJ D-Nice.
