On Sunday Nov. 19, we had the pleasure of covering the 2017 American Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. As the largest fan-voted awards show, the AMAs did not disappoint the fangirl in us.
Here are some of our favorite moments from the carpet:
1. Selfies with Shawn
Most who watched the AMAs on TV would definitely that the Favorite Contemporary Artist winner Shawn Mendes stole the show with his performance, but I would say that he stole our hearts too.
2. Getting Behind-the-Scenes Details on Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” Remix
We chatted with Justin Bieber’s producer and music collaborator, Poo Bear who gave us all the details on how the AMA Collaboration of the Year & Favorite Pop/Rock Song winning song came to life. “Justin Bieber is the reason that he is on the remix. It was his idea… Justin heard the song in Columbia—the original version—and he loved it and, ‘I want to remix it’ and called me.”
3. Asahd Khaled on the Red Carpet
Asahd was one of the youngest and most fashionable winners of the night. The 1-year-old son of DJ Khaled is credited as a producer on his newest album and even left the AMAs with a win for Favorite Song—Rap/Hip-Hop.
4. Seeing supermodel Heidi Klum
It’s not every day when you get to witness the beauty of the flawless Heidi Klum. Heidi looked gorgeous in her beige and pink designed v-lined dress.
5. Seeing BTS
The K-Pop group made their U.S. debut at the AMA with an amazing performance. As someone who never really knew them before, it was really cool to see their large fan-base and American support.
6. Watching couple Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman arrive
