Okay, can we just talk about how Billie Eilish totally slayed at the 2025 AMAs?! Like, the night was already wild with killer performances and super emotional moments, but Billie?
She was on another level, basically snatching every award in sight and reminding everyone she’s the queen of pop right now.
Artist of the Year and Beyond
So, Billie—our Birds of a Feather girl—walked away with seven awards. SEVEN! She bagged the big one, Artist of the Year, beating out absolute legends like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Morgan Wallen.
Plus, she grabbed Album of the Year, Favorite Touring Artist, and pretty much every category she was nominated for. Talk about a clean sweep!
She wasn’t even there in person—she’s out there living her best life on tour in Europe—but she sent this super cute video message. “This is insane, I’m legit speechless,” she said, looking like she could barely believe it.
Honestly, same, Billie. Her music, those raw lyrics, and the way she keeps switching things up? It’s no wonder everyone’s obsessed.
More Female Power: SZA, Becky G, Gracie Abrams Shine
Billie wasn’t the only one having a moment. Gracie Abrams, who’s basically everyone’s new fave, won New Artist of the Year and gave the sweetest shoutout to her fans. “You guys are my everything, you’ve shown me so much love,” she said in a video, and I’m not crying, you are!
SZA? Oh, she killed it too, snagging Favorite Female R&B Artist and Favorite R&B Song for Saturn—you know that song we’ve all been blasting nonstop. And Becky G? She’s out here repping Latin pop and took home Favorite Female Latin Artist like the boss she is.
A Night of Icons and No-Shows
Okay, so some huge names like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Kendrick Lamar didn’t show up, but they still got their flowers. Beyoncé made straight-up history by winning her first country awards—Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album for Cowboy Carter. Can we just say, iconic?
Post Malone was named Favorite Male Country Artist, which, yeah, tracks. And Kendrick Lamar, who had a crazy 10 nominations, won Favorite Hip-Hop Song for Not Like Us. Not a bad night for the absentees!
Show Highlights: J.Lo’s Medley, Janet Jackson’s Icon Moment
The show kicked off with J.Lo absolutely bringing it with a six-minute medley that had me dancing in my living room. She covered Billie’s Birds of a Feather, Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso, Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em—like, J.Lo was giving us everything.
Then Janet Jackson got the Icon Award and was so humble about it, saying, “I don’t really think I’m an icon, I just hope I’ve inspired some of you to go after your dreams.” Ugh, Janet, we love you!
Oh, and Rod Stewart got the Lifetime Achievement Award and sang Forever Young, which had everyone feeling all nostalgic. He talked about how much he still loves making music, and it was just so wholesome.
What This Means for Billie Eilish
Billie’s AMA takeover is proof she’s not just a pop star—she’s out here changing the game. Fans are already losing it, wondering what’s next. New music?
More tour dates? A Grammy sweep? Whatever it is, Billie’s got us all hooked, and her bond with her fans is just unreal. Obsessed with this night? Tell your friends about it! Share on:
