Cardi B hosts the American Music Awards for the first time in 2021.

On Sunday night, #Cardi B made her hosting debut at the American Music Awards 2021.

The awards show, which was hosted by the 29-year-old rapper, took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday. Bruno Mars and Anderson will open the show. Paak – nicknamed Silk Sonic – played their single Smokin Out the Window and later won the Best R&B Song Oscar for Leave the Door Open.

Olivia Rodrigo, a six-time candidate, won the prestigious New Artist of the Year award after performing an acoustic rendition of her song Traitor. New Edition and New Kids on the Block performed Candy Girl and Is This the End, as well as Step by Step and Hangin' Tough, respectively, in an old-fashioned battle of the bands.

BTS played their hit Butter without Megan Thee Stallion, who was unable to attend due to personal reasons, before being joined by Coldplay for their collaboration My Universe. The seven-piece band took home three trophies on the night: Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop Duo or Group, and Favorite Pop Song for Butter.

Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion both received three awards. Doja took home awards for Favorite Female R&B Artist, Collaboration of the Year for Kiss Me More with SZA, and Favorite R&B Album for Planet Her, while Megan took home awards for Favorite Trending Song, Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist, and Favorite Hip-Hop Album for Good News.
