The AMA’s Are Gonna Be Lit

19 Nov, 2019

The American Music Awards are just a month away, and the nominations have arrived.

Post Malone leads the list with seven nods, with Ariana Grande and first-time nominee Billie Eilish following with six each. Eilish is up for new artist of the year, competing against Luke Combs, Lil Nas X, Lizzo and Ella Mai. Malone and Grande are both nominated for one of the night’s biggest honors, artist of the year, alongside Halsey, Drake and Taylor Swift.

Swift currently holds the most wins (four) in the category and might go on to surpass Michael Jackson’s record for most AMAs of all time if she wins two of the five categories she’s nominated in.  

Voting is now open for all AMAs categories at goo.gle/AMAsVote or by going to Google.com and using the search terms “AMAs Vote” or “[Nominee Name] AMAs Vote.” Voting will close on Nov. 20.

The 2019 AMAs will air live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Nov. 24 at at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
