The awards show also honors artists in rock, country, dance, hip-hop, latin and regional Mexican music genres.
It will feature live performances and first-time duets and collaborations by today’s biggest artists, including Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, The Chainsmokers, Shawn Mendes, Thomas Rhett, Noah Cyrus and Big Sean.
