2025 AMAs: Benson Boone, Reneé Rapp, Lainey Wilson to Perform
Performers for the 2025 American Music Awards have been unveiled. Pop musicians Benson Boone and Renée Rapp, as well as country musicians Lainey Wilson and Blake Shelton, will perform at the awards show for the first time. Gwen Stefani and Gloria Estefan are also listed on the lineup.
The show scheduled for Monday, May 26, will also see host Jennifer Lopez take the stage. When the singer first hosted the show in 2015, she performed a seven-minute dance medley of the year's biggest hits. It hasn't yet been revealed whether Lopez will do the same for this year's show, but the setlist for the rest of the lineup has mostly been locked in.

Boone will preview his forthcoming album American Heart with a performance of his latest single, 'Mythical Magic,' which follows the earlier release 'Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else.' Rapp will also introduce music from her awaited second studio album. Wilson hasn't revealed her song selection for the night, but recently shared the single 'Bell Bottoms Up.'
Stefani will craft a medley of hits for her set in celebration of her album turning 20 years old. The performance will include 'Hollaback Girl' and a selection from her new album, Bouquet, which will bridge the gap between the past and the present. Shelton, her husband, will take the stage with a song from his latest album, For Recreational Use Only.
The 2025 AMAs will see Estefan return to the stage for the first time in over 30 years. Her performance will span her illustrious, five-decade-long career. It'll be a night of reflection as Janet Jackson will also perform a career-spanning set. Jackson is the recipient of the ICON Award, previously presented to Lionel Richie in 2022 and Rihanna in 2013. Her appearance will mark her first television performance in seven years.
The AMAs will air live from the Fountainbleau Las Vegas via CBS and stream on Paramount+.
