That's a wrap for the American Music Awards (AMAs) 2021!

In a whirlwind of flashing lights, shiny trophies and stunning red carpet outfits, the coveted awards show has drawn its curtains close with many walking with new accolades.

From BTS becoming the first-ever Asian act to win Artist Of The Year or Doja Cat taking home the Favourite R&B Album and Favourite Female R&B Artist to Olivia Rodrigo securing her rising star status walking away with New Artist Of The Year, AMAs 2021 has been quite the memorable night.

Here are the winners of the 2021 American Music Awards

But beyond all the accolades and adorable celebrity interactions, we still quite get over the dazzling lineup of performers. Here are some of our favourite standout performances from AMAs 2021!

BTS

What a night it has been for BTS. From knocking all the categories they've been nominated in to closing out the entire awards show, the global pop stars were one of AMAs 2021's brightest stars. 

BTS performed 'My Universe' with Coldplay for the first time before bringing the night to a close with their chart-topping dance anthem 'Butter'. Both performances served as the group's first time singing and dancing to a live audience in two years. 

Olivia Rodrigo

Amidst the party, Olivia Rodrigo takes things slow with a heartfelt rendition of her hit single 'traitor'. Armed only with her guitar and emotive voice, the 'New Artist Of The Year' winner brought a wave of emotion and heartache for her first-ever AMA stage. 

Chlöe

Descending from the sky like the angel that she is, Chlöe brought the heat with performances of 'Have Mercy'. Backed by an army of pink-clad dancers, the R&B singer danced her heart out and we were dancing (or at least trying to) along with her. 

Måneskin

If there's anyone that knows how to hype up a crowd, it's definitely Måneskin. Bringing to the stage their alluring charisma and their incomparable rock-and-roll energy, the Eurovision 2021 winners had everyone rocking out to their hit 'Beggin'.

Silk Sonic

Dressed to the nines and oozing with 70s suave, Silk Sonic eased us into the night with their groovy track 'Smokin' Out The Window' for their recently released album, An Evening With Silk Sonic. Taking turns gliding around the stage, the duo transported audiences to a late-night disco and we're 100% here for it. 

Giveon

Rich and soulful, Giveon gave a stunning performance of 'Heartbreak Anniversary'. Stirring a whole lot of emotion with the breakup ballad, the R&B singer's raw talent and heavenly voice took centre stage.
