The 2015 American Music Awards

Everyone has been watching out for American Music Awards every year as entertainment’s hottest artists gather for this memorable awards night.

Swift, who won three awards, was out of the country filming a new music video. Jennifer Lopez starred as the host and performer while Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato also took the stage.

Yet too many other acts seemed deflated by the pressure to deliver something noteworthy, none more than the usually effervescent Gwen Stefani, who looked miserable – more miserable than she meant to, that is – in “Used to Love You“, her gloomy new ballad about her breakup with her husband, Gavin Rossdale.

The American Music Awards ended on a high note as Penatonix took the stage for the ultimate “Star Wars” tribute.

The star sang a bit of a slowed-down version of her 1999 hit “Waiting for Tonight” before stopping and insisting that it was not all about her. Then she proceeded to make it all about her by dancing to some of the year’s biggest hits.

If there’s any question that Trainor and Pluth are more than just friends, you had to see what we saw after their performance-or didn’t see, that is.

“I’m still laughing at Charlie and Meghan smooching”, Bryan said onstage after winning favourite male artist-country.

Scarborough’s very own, The Weeknd, a.k.a. Abel Tesfaye, went home with two awards, one presented by none other than Prince, for favourite R&B album for Beauty Behind the Madness.

One of this year’s breakout artists, The Weeknd gave a thrilling performance of “The Hills” surrounded by flames.

Nicki Minaj won two awards, Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Female Artist and Album and The Weekend also won two awards, Favourite Soul/R&B Male Artist and Album.

Even “Star Wars” made it into the evening.

Music producer Skrillex and DJ Diplo’s single “Where are u now”, featuring singer Justin Bieber, won the award for the best Collaboration of the Year, unleashed by T-Mobile.

Ever since the AMAs announced that it would pay tribute to the victims of the Paris terror attacks with a special performance of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne a L’amour” by Celine Dion, it was clear that this was going to be a standout performance.

In the midst of all the fun and frolics, Dion, 47, gave the audience a reminder of the Paris attacks, which claimed the lives of 130 people on 13 November.

Well, not literally. But when the Canadian superstar delivered a rendition of his new hit “Sorry“, the rain came pouring down on top of him. Florida Georgia Line won for Favorite Country Album and Favorite Country Group.
