Honoring the best in music! The 2020 American Music Awards went off without a hitch amid the coronavirus pandemic from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 22.

Nominations for the 48th annual affair were announced on Good Morning America on October 26. The Weeknd and Roddy Rich tied with eight apiece, making them the most nominated stars of the night.

Shortly behind the pair was Megan Thee Stallion, who snagged five nods across categories such as New Artist of the Year and Collaboration of the Year. The “Savage” rapper, 25, was the most-nominated female artist for 2020. Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Bad Bunny, DaBaby and Lady Gaga all received for four nominations each.

For this year’s crop of performers, Shawn Mendes, Dua Lipa, BTS, Bad Bunny, Jhay Cortez, Lil Baby and Megan Thee Stallion were recruited for the task.

Earlier this month, Taraji P. Henson was confirmed to host the fan-voted ceremony. “The AMAs bring together the music community to celebrate what really drives all artists – the fans,” the Hidden Figures actress, 50, said in a press release. “I’m proud to take the stage as this year’s host — and also a fan — for what promises to be an electrifying night of music.”

The What Men Want star also shared her excitement for her new gig via Instagram. “I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be hosting the 2020 @AMAs! It’s going to be an electrifying night of music,” she wrote on November 2, adding that “WE GON HAVE SOME FUN!!! 🙌🏾 🙏🏾💋💋💋.”
