Teen Artist's Emotional Moment

Indie musician Sombor, just 20 years old, emerged as a surprise double winner. He claimed Best Rock/Alternative Album and Best Rock/Alternative Song for his track 'Back to Friends'. On stage, he told the crowd: "Ich habe diesen Song geschrieben, als ich 19 und ganz allein in meinem Schlafzimmer deprimiert war."

While BTS celebrated, Taylor Swift left empty-handed. Despite receiving eight nominations, the pop superstar did not win a single award.

Rapper and actress Queen Latifah hosted the ceremony, steering the show with her signature wit and warmth.

The American Music Awards have been a fixture of the US music scene since 1974, honoring artists across genres including Pop, Country, Hip-Hop, Rock, and R&B.

Nominations are based on album sales figures, and winners are chosen by fans through online voting, making the AMAs a unique reflection of popular consumer taste.
