Taylor Swift 2022 AMAs

Taylor Swift is a historic figure at the American Music Awards and the mega pop star collected her 40th award at the 2022 ceremony. Year after year, she dominates the award show, as she also bagged her 7th win for Artist of the Year. Although she didn’t appear on the pre-show red carpet, many people had a feeling that Taylor would show up at some point during the show. The queen of the music industry did not disappoint when she showed up in a metallic gold jumpsuit. The halter top, deep v neckline, and eye-catching bold belt made Taylor look like a bold, gold goddess!

Kelly Rowland 2022 AMAs

Kelly Rowland quickly became the talk of the town after the 2022 American Music Awards. After announcing Chris Brown as the winner for male R&B artist, the audience began booing and making a commotion. Rather than shrug this off, Kelly came to Chris’ defense, telling them to “chill out” before accepting the award on his behalf. “I want to tell Chris thank you so much for making great R&B music. And I want to tell him thank you for being an incredible performer. I’ll take this award, bring it to you. I love you. Congratulations — and congratulations to all the nominees in this category.” Although this interaction seemingly stole the show, we still couldn’t ignore Kelly’s eye-catching leopard print dress with an overskirt. The thigh-high slit and arm-length gloves add the perfect touch of glam to this otherwise loud look. Kelly gets some major style points for this one!

Carolina Gaitan 2022 AMAs

Carolina Gaitan exploded into the music scene after voicing Pepa Madrigal in the 2021 Disney movie, Encanto. Now, she’s using her talent to take her all the way to the American Music Awards! Carolina chose to wear a strapless, black ball gown to the ceremony and we couldn’t love her choice any more than we already do! The billowing skirt is a bold way to make an entrance, but could we expect any less from the singer of 2021’s most popular song? And yes- we’re talking about “We Don’t Talk About Bruno!”

Along with releasing her fifth major-label studio album, Takin’ It Back, in October 2022, Meghan released her single “Made You Look.” This single would become her first song since 2016 to hit the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. To celebrate her success, Meghan wore a hot pink, sequin power suit to the American Music Awards.
