It was a big night for Taylor Swift, who was named Artist of the Year at the 2022 American Music Awards in downtown Los Angeles.

Bad Bunny entered the night with eight nominations but walked with away with just two awards, for Favorite Male Latin Artist and Favorite Latin Album.
Elton John, who won an award with Dua Lipa for Collaboration of the Year, became the longest-recognized artist in AMA history, having earned his first-ever nomination in 1974 at the inaugural AMA ceremony.
Like most music awards shows, the ceremony featured a wide array of musical performances, including Carrie Underwood, Imagine Dragons, Wizkid, Yola, Anitta, Bebe Rexha, David Guetta, Dove Cameron, Glorilla and Lil Baby.
P!nk performed a tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John, who died in August after a protracted battle with breast cancer.
