AMAs night was filled with unforgettable moments, whether it was BTS and Coldplay performance or Cardi B's hosting gig.

Cardi

Cardi B made her hosting debut at this year's event. The 'WAP' singer took her fashion game a notch higher with her dramatic ensembles and of course how can we ignore her big laughs and her great humor. "Damn this crowd is loud," she said as she welcomed everyone to the 2021 AMAs. "I ain't gonna lie. I'm a little nervous. I'm sweating."

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez brought her upcoming movie Marry Me's character, Kat Valdez, to the 2021 American Music Awards. The actress took to the stage to deliver the debut performance of her new song 'On My Way,' the main song for her upcoming romantic comedy. The 52-year-old songstress began her performance in a dramatic black gown sitting at a piano, than she did a quick change and came out in a stunning beige dress with a veil

BTS X Coldplay

The K-pop boy band joined British rock band Coldplay onstage at the American Music Awards on Sunday to perform their collaboration 'My Universe' for the first time in front of a live audience. BTS did not perform their signature choreographed dance routine, instead grooved along with the song as they interacted with enthusiastic fans in the crowd who cheered through the performance. 

The boyband and Coldplay, though, ended their act with an engaged dance party of sorts amid fireworks. "Coldplay BTS, thank you!" the group said as they blew kisses to the camera.
