Janet Jackson Will Perform And Receive ICON Honor At 2025 American Music Awards
Janet Jackson is set to receive a long-overdue and well-deserved honor at the 2025 American Music Awards.

Her accolades speak volumes: five Grammy Awards, 10 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, and seven No. 1 albums. She's also earned a Golden Globe, an Oscar nomination, multiple MTV and Billboard Music Awards, and a well-earned spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an honor presented to her by Janelle Monáe in 2019. Adding to the excitement, Janet will kick off a new leg of her Las Vegas residency, JANET JACKSON: LAS VEGAS, just days before the AMAs. The six-show run at Resorts World Theatre begins May 21 and wraps May 31, giving fans an up-close chance to experience the legend. The 2025 American Music Awards will air live at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on CBS and will stream on Paramount+. And while Janet's spotlight is well-earned, the night will also be a celebration of the current music landscape. Kendrick Lamar leads this year's nominations with 10 nods, followed by Post Malone with eight, and Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey with seven each. Fan voting is now open at and on the official @AMAs Instagram until Thursday (May 15).
