The American Music Awards took place at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif. Sunday night, with Post Malone, Billie Eilish, and Ariana Grande leading the nominees with six nods each.

The lead-up to the AMAs was marred with controversy when Taylor Swift claimed on social media that her former record label Big Machine was preventing her from performing her older hits at the show. Fortunately, an agreement has since been reached that will allow Swift to perform tracks whose masters are retained by Big Machine.

Swift surpassed Michael Jackson’s record for most AMA wins of all time with her 24th and 25th wins at the show.

Other performers include Lizzo, Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, Billie Eilish, Green Day, the Jonas Brothers, Kesha feat. Big Freedia, Dua Lipa, Post Malone feat. Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Scott and WATT, Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World, Toni Braxton, Thomas Rhett and Shania Twain.
