First-time nominee GloRilla made her AMAs stage debut with a surprise performance alongside last year's AMA host Cardi B for their hit "Tomorrow 2."
Imagine Dragons hit the stage for a fiery performance, singing a medley of their hits including "Bones." The band was later joined by Atlanta rapper J.I.D. for a striking performance of their duo hit "Enemy."
Artist, songwriter and actor, Yola, took the stage to perform her powerful original song "Break the Bough," named the American Music Awards SONG OF SOUL, a spotlight moment that highlights an artist that uses music to invoke social change. Yola's colorful performance showcased her vocal abilities and star power.
New Artist of the Year winner Dove Cameron made her AMAs stage debut in a theatrical performance of her hit single "Boyfriend."
Presented by longtime friend Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie received his 18th AMA award with the prestigious Icon Award. Later in the evening, stars joined together to honor Richie with tribute performances, including two-time AMA winner Stevie Wonder and two-time AMA nominee Charlie Puth who performed a medley of Richie's hit songs complete with dueling pianos and scat singing.
Superstars Jimmie Allen, Ari Lennox, Yola, Muni Long, Melissa Ethridge, Dustin Lynch, and Smokey Robinson joined Wonder and Puth on the stage for an epic surprise recreation of the 1986 AMAs performance of "We Are The World," a nostalgic highlight of the evening with Lionel joining the group on stage.
