However, all eyes this year are on hip-hop superstar Kendrick Lamar, who looks to break a long-standing AMA record and continue his incredible past 12 months following his success at the GRAMMY Awards earlier this year. Vegas Insider has compiled a list of potential records that could be set or broken at this year's event, ranging from most awards collected in a single ceremony to a nominee becoming only the second woman in the awards' history to earn the Favourite Electronic/Dance Artist gong.

Will Taylor Swift add to the 40 American Music Awards she has earned over her career this evening? | AFP via Getty Images Taylor Swift Taylor Swift could significantly extend her already dominant legacy at the AMAs. As the most awarded artist in the history of the awards, currently holding a staggering 40 trophies, her 6 nominations in 2025 offer the chance to boost her total to an unprecedented 46 AMAs. Beyond overall wins, Swift is nominated in several categories where she already holds the record: a win for Artist of the Year would be her 8th, further solidifying her reign; taking home Favourite Female Pop Artist would also be her 8th, and potentially her 6th consecutive win in that category. Additionally, if The Tortured Poets Department wins Favourite Pop/Rock Album, it would be her 6th time winning in that category, and she could become the first artist ever to win it three consecutive times. Kendrick Lamar Kendrick Lamar has a monumental opportunity to etch his name into AMA history. With an impressive 10 nominations in 2025, he could potentially break the long-standing record for the most AMAs won in a single ceremony.

There is also the feat that if his album GNX takes home the award for Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Album, it would mark his 3rd win in that category, tying Nicki Minaj's current record. Charli XCX Charli XCX, having earned an Ivor award last week, could achieve a significant milestone in the electronic dance music categories. If she wins Favourite Electronic/Dance Artist, she would become only the second female artist in the history of the AMAs to achieve this feat, joining the ranks of Lady Gaga, who first won the award in 2020. Megan Thee Stallion Megan Thee Stallion has the chance to further cement her status as a leading female voice in hip-hop. Should she win Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Female Artist, it would be her second victory in this category, placing her alongside esteemed artists like Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliot, and Cardi B as multi-time winners. Eminem Eminem is nominated in two key hip-hop categories where he could extend or tie existing records. If he wins Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist, it would be his 5th victory in that category, further solidifying his record as the most awarded artist.

Future Future could make his mark in the Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Song category. Having won once in 2022 for Wait for U, a win for Like That in 2025 would be his second victory, allowing him to join Cardi B as the only artists to have won this category on multiple occasions (Cardi B currently holds three wins). Linkin Park Linkin Park has the opportunity to extend their already impressive record in the rock genre. With 6 previous wins in the Favourite Rock Artist category (2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2017), a victory in 2025 would bring their total to a remarkable 7 AMAs, solidifying their long-standing dominance in the rock field. Who do you think will walk away from the 2025 American Music Awards with a trophy and are you rooting for Charli XCX like the rest of us? Let us know your predictions by leaving a comment down below.

Windstar Cruises and Crypto.com Arena Collaborate to Connect Live Entertainment Fans With Luxury Travel
New Relationship Expands Windstar's Presence in Los Angeles and Introduces Arena Guests to Exclusive Travel Experiences MIAMI, April 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Windstar Cruises (Windstar) has launched a new collaboration with AEG, the leading sports and live entertainment company. Brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, Windstar is now the official cruise line of AEG-owned and operated – Arena, Los Angeles' most iconic sports and entertainment venue. For over 25 years, Arena has hosted world-class performances and important special events that continue to bring international stature to the Downtown Los Angeles venue, including concerts by global superstars such as Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Prince, U2, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, Usher, Jay-Z, Keith Urban, and more. In addition to being the home of the annual GRAMMY Awards since 2000, the arena is home to three professional sports franchises – the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, NHL's LA Kings and WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks – and has been the site of multiple league championships and historic moments. Arena continues to be a premier destination for high-profile events and is slated to host the gymnastics competition at the upcoming 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, further cementing its global significance. The new relationship expands Windstar's presence in a key West Coast market, while reinforcing its connection and commitment to working with brands within the Anschutz Corporation's world-class portfolio. "Following our recent collaboration with The O2 in London also owned by AEG, we are excited to expand Windstar's visibility at Los Angeles' legendary Arena. Los Angeles is one of our top markets and we will continue to grow our presence there among the community that has supported us throughout our 40-year history," said Windstar's President Christopher Prelog. "As leaders in our respective industries, this is a thrilling next step." As the official cruise line of Arena, Windstar will gain amplified brand exposure across the venue, including a model of one of its luxury ships on display year-round for visitors within the arena's Lexus Club.

An 8-hour direct flight from Los Angeles to Papeete, Tahiti quickly whisks travelers into a tropical paradise with itineraries ranging from the popular 7-day cruise in Tahiti's Society Islands to longer cruises exploring the Tuamotu and Marquesas Islands. The destination promises exhilarating fire dancer performances in Bora Bora to leisurely days spent diving into crystal-clear lagoons or relaxing on deck with a classic Mai Tai in hand. Windstar has been cruising to Tahiti for 37 years, and in 2027, will add a second year-round, 148-guest sailing yacht, "Wind Star," joining the 312-guest "Star Breeze" to give Los Angeles residents a choice between a classic sailing experience or all-suite yacht in French Polynesia. As part of this new relationship, fans will have the opportunity to participate in special promotions and travel sweepstakes, offering a chance to experience Windstar's luxury cruises firsthand.

Jessica Lee (TJM Images) Unveils the Journey from Canada to Hollywood: The Rise of a Sports and Entertainment Photographer
What started as a passion for photography in Canada has turned into an unexpected dream career in Los Angeles for Jessica Lee. Now a sought-after photographer in the sports, music and live entertainment industry, she has captured some of the most iconic moments at events like the GRAMMY Awards, The Emmy Awards, Rose Bowl Game, Los Angeles Lakers, while working with some of the biggest names in the business. 'When I first moved to L.A., I never imagined I'd be photographing stars like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga,' she admits. 'But as the years went on, the opportunities kept growing, and it all just snowballed.' Most recently, she found herself rink-side for the NHL, capturing none other than Justin Bieber in action at a charity hockey game—just another surreal moment in an everyday career. What's Next? Capturing Legends and Global Events With an already impressive portfolio, Jessica shows no signs of slowing down. Next on her horizon are some of the biggest projects of her career, with principal photography efforts covering legendary rock bands AC/DC and Oasis at their sold out stadium concerts. Beyond the music world, she is also stepping onto the global sports stage, gearing up to photograph six FIFA soccer matches and the highly anticipated LA28 Summer Olympics. 'Being able to document these historic moments is an honor,' she says. 'It's not just about the action—it's about the emotion, the fans and the storytelling that will leave a legacy that lives on through these images.' From red carpets to the ice rick, Jessica continues to redefine what's possible in sports and entertainment photography, proving that sometimes, dreams unfold in ways you never expect.
