The 2026 American Music Awards have officially kicked off in Las Vegas, with stars already making their way down the red carpet at the MGM Grand Garden Arena ahead of one of the biggest nights in music. Early arrivals including XG, Twenty One Pilots, and Rei Ami have set the tone for what is shaping up to be a packed evening of headline-making fashion moments.
Broadcasting live tonight, May 25, the 52nd annual American Music Awards return to CBS and Paramount+ beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
Las Vegas once again hosts the ceremony, with the MGM Grand Garden Arena serving as the backdrop for a night expected to deliver major surprises. The 2026 edition also marks Queen Latifah’s return to the AMAs stage as host, more than 30 years after she first co-hosted the event in 1995.
Taylor Swift leads this year’s nomination race, entering the night as the most-nominated artist and potentially extending her already unmatched AMAs legacy. Several first-time nominees are also competing across newly introduced categories.
Beyond the awards race, fashion has always played a defining role in the AMAs’ identity. Scroll down to see all the photos from the 2026 American Music Awards red carpet as the biggest names in music continue to arrive.
