Janet Jackson, SZA, And More Highlights From 2025 American Music Awards
The 2025 American Music Awards, the 'largest fan-voted award show,' celebrated the most 'iconic' artists on Monday (May 26) live from the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Hosted by Jennifer Lopez, the show included performances from Gloria Estefan, Renée Rapp, Becky G, and Janet Jackson. Winners were announced by Shaboozey, Jordan Chiles, Kai Cenat, Tiffany Haddish, Wayne Brady, and more. Jackson took home the coveted Icon Award and performed a medley of 'Someone To Call My Lover' and 'All For You.' Her dynamic set marked the singer's first live television performance in years. During her acceptance speech, she expressed how 'honored and grateful' she is especially since she doesn't consider herself to be an icon. 'My family, myself— our dream wasn't ever to be famous. We weren't raised like that. We always had a special love for music, dancing, and singing and fame came with the result of hard work and dedication,' Jackson continued. 'My story, my family's story is truly an American's story. This would have only happened in America. The one thing that I hope for is that I've been an inspiration to others and artists to follow their dreams and succeed.' SZA snagged wins for Favorite Female R&B Artist and Favorite R&B Song. She shouted out Kai Cenat's Streamer University and praised her fans for their unwavering support. See the full list of 2025 American Music Awards winners below.

Billie Eilish Adds New Tour Dates — & Fans Are Already Losing It Over Her ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft' Era
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – APRIL 23: Billie Eilish performs at Avicii Arena on April 23, 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden. (Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage for Live Nation) Just when fans thought tickets were all sold out, Billie Eilish has hit again — this time with a fresh wave of 2025 tour dates that are sending the internet into a frenzy. On May 17, the Grammy and Oscar-winning artist officially announced a second North American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft world tour, expanding what's already one of the most anticipated live music events of the decade. The announcement comes as excitement around Eilish's third studio album, also titled Hit Me Hard and Soft , reaches a fever pitch. After kicking off with shows across Europe, Australia, and select U.S. cities, Billie will now return stateside for a fall 2025 run — adding multiple dates in major markets like Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. New Cities, Same Billie Energy QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC – SEPTEMBER 29: (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) Billie Eilish performs onstage during Billie Eilish HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR Kick Off at Videotron Centre on September 29, 2024 in Quebec City, Quebec. (Photo byfor Live Nation) Following her two-night run at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan this August, Eilish will hit the road in the U.S. again starting in Miami on October 9, with additional shows stretching through late November. The new dates mark a continuation of the global tour that fans have been scrambling to attend since it was first announced earlier this year. Pre-sale tickets for the upcoming U.S. and Tokyo shows will be available to American Express® Card Members starting today, May 20, at 12:00 PM local time for U.S. shows, and May 22 at 12:00 PM JST for Tokyo shows. General ticket sales open Thursday, May 22 via A New Era — Sonically and Stylistically Billie Eilish, Charli XCX at the Billie Eilish 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' Tour at Kia Forum on December 17, 2024 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Billboard via Getty Images) Hit Me Hard and Soft , released on May 17, is already being praised as Eilish's most intimate and genre-bending project to date. With standout tracks like 'Lunch,' 'Chihiro,' and 'Birds of a Feather,' the album balances vulnerability and experimentation — delivered with the moody elegance that's become her signature. While the Hit Me Hard and Soft album visuals hinted at a softer, dreamier evolution, Billie's tour wardrobe proves she's still loyal to the look that made her an icon. On stage, she's embracing her signature oversized streetwear — baggy tees, athletic shorts, sneakers, and layered accessories. It's a continuation of her personal comfort-first aesthetic, now sharpened with maturity and intentional restraint. Given her past collaborations with designers like Rick Owens and Gucci, it's safe to say we can continue to expect looks that make just as big a statement as the music. Why This Era Hits Different NEW YORK, NEW YORK – OCTOBER 16: (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) Billie Eilish performs onstage during Billie Eilish HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR at Madison Square Garden on October 16, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/for Live Nation) Billie, now 23, has always defied expectations. But this era feels more intentional, more cinematic, and more personal. Co-produced with her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas, the album was designed to be listened to in full — no singles, no skips, just immersive storytelling. Thematically, the album explores identity, longing, loneliness, and desire with poetic depth. It's moody but not melancholic, edgy but not chaotic. And fans are responding in kind, seeing their own emotional evolution mirrored in hers.
