Benson Boone does a flip offstage at the American Music Awards #AMAs #AMAs2025 — EXM (@officialexm) May 27, 2025 Beyoncé won Best Female Country Artist, reflecting her genre-crossing success with Cowboy Carter . Despite being nominated for six awards, Taylor Swift did not attend the ceremony and did not win any awards . Although, her fans made heavy speculations about the possibility of announcing her Taylor Versions for Reputation and her debut album. Earlier in March, during the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Swift accepted the "Tour of the Century" award via a pre-recorded message. In the video, she wore a snake necklace, a symbol heavily associated with her Reputation era, leading fans to believe she was hinting at the upcoming re-recording . Furthermore, the part about Reputation in the Eras Tour book started at page 62 and Reputation is Swift's fifth album. So, with the mirrorball effect, 26/5 should be the date of announcing Reputation TV. While no official announcement has been made, the combination of symbolic gestures and legal movements suggests that Reputation (Taylor's Version) may be on the horizon. Regarding the full list of winners, they are as follows: General Categories Artist of the Year: Billie Eilish Album of the Year: Hit Me Hard and Soft – Billie Eilish Song of the Year: 'Birds of a Feather' – Billie Eilish New Artist of the Year: Gracie Abrams Collaboration of the Year: Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Favorite Music Video: Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Social Song of the Year: 'Anxiety' – Doechii ICON Award: Janet Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award: Rod Stewart Veterans Voice Award: Zac Brown Pop Favorite Pop Album: Hit Me Hard and Soft – Billie Eilish Favorite Female Pop Artist: Billie Eilish Favorite Male Pop Artist: Post Malone Favorite Pop Duo/Group: RM (BTS) Rock Favorite Rock Artist: Foo Fighters Favorite Rock Song: 'Rescue Me' – Thirty Seconds to Mars R&B Favorite R&B Artist: SZA Favorite R&B Song: 'Saturn' – SZA Hip-Hop Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist: Eminem Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist: Megan Thee Stallion Favorite Hip-Hop Song: 'Not Like Us' – Kendrick Lamar Country Favorite Female Country Artist: Beyoncé Favorite Male Country Artist: Post Malone Favorite Country Album: Cowboy Carter – Beyoncé Favorite Country Song: 'I Had Some Help' – Post Malone ft.

Billie Eilish international tour schedule 2025 Before the second North American leg of Eilish's tour, she'll play huge venues all over Europe. For a closer look, here's where you can find her overseas this summer. Billie Eilish set list According to Set List FM, here's what Eilish played at her first night at MSG on Wednesday, Oct. 16. 01.) 'CHIHIRO' 02.) 'LUNCH' 03.) 'NDA' (shortened) 04.) 'Therefore I Am' 05.) 'WILDFLOWER' 06.) 'when the party's over' (live looped vocal layers intro) 07.) 'THE DINER' 08.) 'ilomilo' 09.) 'bad guy' 10.) 'THE GREATEST' 11.) 'Male Fantasy' 12.) 'SKINNY' 13.) 'TV' 14.) 'bury a friend' 15.) 'Oxytocin' 16.) 'Guess' (Charli XCX cover) 17.) 'everything i wanted' 18.) 'lovely / idontwannabeyouanymore / ocean eyes' 19.) 'L'AMOUR DE MA VIE' 20.) 'What Was I Made For?' (with Finneas) 21.) 'Happier Than Ever' 22.) 'BIRDS OF A FEATHER' Billie Eilish new music On May 17, 2024, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter released her third studio album 'Hit Me Hard and Soft.' The record's compact ten tracks run the gamut of achingly personal acoustic music ripped straight from Eilish's diary to undeniably dancey, breathy shoegaze pop. At the risk of sounding cliché, we can't help but gush over the album's excellent three lead singles: the ethereal 'Wildflower,' seductive (if a bit raunchy) 'Lunch' and tropical anthem 'Birds Of A Feather.' Still, each track needs to be pored over to give Eilish the credit she deserves. 'The Greatest' is an angsty singalong that has 'grab your lighter and wave it with thousands of adoring fans' written all over it. 'L'amour De Ma Vie' takes a hard left turn at the 3:35 mark and turns a lush ballad into a tripped-out disco reminiscent of The Voidz. 'The Diner' is discomfiting baroque pop that will make your skin crawl in the best way possible. 'Bittersuite' is a soundscape that tests the limits of Eilish's seemingly endless vocal talents. If you want to give the record a go (and we recommend you do!), you can find the sneakily adventurous 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' here. Huge stars on tour in 2025 Live music is having a bit of a moment. Case in point, here are just five icons on the road you won't want to miss these next few months. • Sabrina Carpenter • Lorde • Olivia Dean • Tate McRae • Gracie Abrams Who else is out and about?
