Billie Eilish was a big winner at Monday night’s American Music Awards. Eilish wasn’t present at the show since she is currently on tour, but she won all seven awards that she was nominated for, including artist of the year, album of the year and song of the year. Beyoncé won two AMAs for favorite female country artist and favorite country album, marking the first time she was recognized in the country music category. Other winners included Kendrick Lamar, who earned one AMA for favorite hip-hop song for “Not Like Us,” and SZA, who took home two awards for favorite R&B song and favorite female R&B artist. Host Jennifer Lopez opened the show with an energetic dance number to a medley that included a mashup of songs by Beyoncé, Eilish, Shaboozey, Chappell Roan and more. Janet Jackson received the 2025 Icon award and made her first TV performance in seven years, performing songs including “Someone to Call My Lover” and “All for You.” “My family (and) myself, our dream wasn’t ever to be famous. We weren’t raised like that. We always had a special love for music, dancing and singing, and fame came with the result of hard work and dedication,” Jackson said while accepting her award. “My story, my family’s story, it’s truly an American story. This would’ve only happened in America.”

Connor Storrie’s meteoric rise — which has seen him go from the world of food service to an internet-dominating television series in just a few months — has left endless possibilities open for the Texas-born actor, whose name is surely being uttered in many a Hollywood casting room these days.
