Washington [US], May 27 (ANI): The 2025 American Music Awards made a glittering return to television after a two-year hiatus, with a grand celebration at the Fontainebleau Resort in Las Vegas.
In a night filled with electrifying performances and emotional tributes, it was Billie Eilish who stole the show, winning in every category she was nominated for, a stunning seven-for-seven sweep.
Eilish, already a nine-time Grammy and two-time Academy Award winner, added multiple AMA titles to her name, including the coveted Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, and Song of the Year for Birds of a Feather.
