The American Music Awards 2025 began with full energy at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Host Jennifer Lopez kicked off the night with a powerful performance.

She first performed her hit song “Dance Again.” Then, she surprised everyone by dancing to several chart-toppers. These included Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Charli XCX and Billie Eilish’s “Guess,” and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things.”

Her performance lit up the stage and set a high bar for the evening.

Celebrities Shine on the Red Carpet

Meanwhile, many stars appeared in style on the red carpet. Viewers spotted Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Machine Gun Kelly, Becky G, Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag, Rebecca Black, and Kehlani.

Each celebrity brought unique fashion and energy to the event.

Is Taylor Swift Attending?

However, the night’s biggest question is still unanswered: Will Taylor Swift make a surprise appearance?

So far, she has not been seen at the event. Still, fans—especially Swifties—are watching closely. There is strong speculation that Taylor might use the AMAs to launch her re-recorded album, Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

Fans Remain Hopeful

Although she hasn’t appeared yet, the crowd remains hopeful. Many believe she might show up later in the night for a major announcement or performance.

Until then, excitement and suspense continue to build.
