The Weeknd Brought His Bandaged-Up Face To The American Music Awards
Not since Garth Brooks’ turn as Chris Gaines has an artist committed so hard to the type of character that makes us ask, “You’re still doing this?” And last night, the American Music Awards were gracious enough to give The Weeknd another reason to pull out the gauze and the 3M tape and get into character.
The Red Carpet Looks At The American Music Awards Were Messy But Fun
It’s not that the Grammys are for your parents, the Grammys are your parents. Old, strict, self-serious, adore Adele, and are prone to making arbitrary decisions like letting JLo perform a Motown medley. Just ask Halsey who basically yelled at them “you’re not the boss of me” during her acceptance speech last night at the American Music Awards. The AMAs are your cool, twice-divorced aunt who taught you how to french inhale and has a lover in Madrid who she visits every Spring. As such, she’s a lot more fun. But unlike your parents who actually clothe, house, and feed your ungrateful ass, her gifts are frivolous and tacky. But fun! That dynamic was reflected in the red carpet looks from last night’s AMAs. Risks were taken. Choices were made. For example, OG fun aunt Christina Aguilera showed up looking like a goddamn snack. A saltine cracker, specifically. Which is a shame because believe me, most of the people there were already very, very thirsty.
Selena Gomez Reportedly Had A Panic Attack Before Her AMAs Performance
Selena Gomez has been back with new music, releasing two songs and music videos from her upcoming album. She performed them both at the American Music Awards last night and it was a swing and a miss. Homegirl was off key and her dance moves were… tragic to say the least. Hailey Bieber was no doubt at home grinning the whole time, I’m sure. But there’s a good reason that Selena tanked so hard last night: she got anxiety and had a panic attack before it.
Halsey Sort Of Called Out The Grammys At The American Music Awards
Last week, Halsey could very much relate to Gretchen Wieners on candy cane day. Because when the Grammys were handing out the 2020 nominations, there were none for Halsey. Halsey qualified in multiple categories, but she didn’t get any. (Halsey has two prior Grammy nominations, both from 2016). Halsey was nominated for three American Music Awards, and when she won one of them last night, she made it pretty clear how she felt about that Grammy snub.
Taylor Swift Only Slightly Dragged Scooter Braun At The American Music Awards
In the weeks leading up to this year’s American Music Awards, it sounded like Taylor Swift was going to go full-Carrie White on Scooter Braun and Big Machine the second she stepped on stage. But when Taylor appeared on television last night, you’d barely know she was in the middle of a messy music rights fight.
Shawn Mendes And Camila Cabello Almost Kissed At The AMAs, And Jenna Dewan Claims She Was Not Hating On Camila
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are still putting in all the work necessary to convince millions of people that they’re authentically romantic. Which is fascinating because these two have the chemistry of cousins who aren’t into incest, and they brought that to their performance of Señorita at last night’s American Music Awards, which some who don’t know how temperature works called “hot” and “steamy.”
