Gwen Stefani Fans Upset Her AMA Performance Was Pre-Recorded After She Was Billed As A Live Performer
Viewers at home were witnessing some TV magic. Last night, the American Music Awards were held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas with Jennifer Lopez as the host. This was Lopez’s second time hosting the awards, with her first stint coming a decade ago in 2015. In theory, this awards show should be one of the best, given that it’s all fan-voted, but just like some many other awards shows, it was rather lackluster.

Viewers at home were witnessing some TV magic.
Last night, the American Music Awards were held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas with Jennifer Lopez as the host. This was Lopez’s second time hosting the awards, with her first stint coming a decade ago in 2015. In theory, this awards show should be one of the best, given that it’s all fan-voted, but just like some many other awards shows, it was rather lackluster. And because it doesn’t have the prestige of the Grammys, most artists who are nominated don’t even bother to show up.
Given that there were limited country music-related categories, I was not planning on tuning in, but I did for a minute and quickly turned it off after Jennifer Lopez’s opening dance number to all of the pop songs that were hits over the year. Was it just me, or did we feel forced to watch a J-Lo concert because she canceled many of her tour dates due to poor ticket sales? Not the opening number that’s going to hook viewers.
@timeless.fashionn Jennifer Lopez closed her 2025 AMAs performance with an unforgettable finale. After a high-energy medley of 23 chart-topping hits, J.Lo delivered a heartfelt tribute to the nation’s veterans, acknowledging Memorial Day with a salute. Her performance not only showcased her incredible talent and versatility but also her deep appreciation for those who serve. At 55, Lopez proved she’s still the queen of the stage, seamlessly blending entertainment with meaningful moments #jenniferlopez #amas2025 #americanmusicawards ♬ оригинальный звук – timeless.fashionn
Needless to say, the show did not stay on long after this performance for me.
And in the country categories… the whole thing was a complete joke. Post Malone and Beyonce, two pop stars, won Favorite Male and Female Country Artist respectively, and other winners included the likes of Dan + Shay for Favorite Country Duo (what do we have to do to make this stop?) and Beyoncé winning Favorite Country Album with Cowboy Carter. Yikes…
However, one moment from the show is quickly going viral, and for the wrong reasons. And no, it’s not the look Shaboozey gave Megan Moroney after she said the Carter Family (which consisted of P. Carter, Sara Carter, and Maybelle Carter) invented country music.
