Find out all the winners of the fan-voted American Music Awards and see performances you may have missed.

The 2022 American Music Awards honored audiences' favorite music acts. The annual awards ceremony is entirely fan-voted each year—which may explain why Taylor Swift, famous for her parasocial relationship with her beloved Swifties (and now for basically breaking Ticketmaster), is the most decorated AMA winner ever, with 40 (and counting). She already won three 2022 AMAs, including Favorite Country Album for Red (Taylor's Version), Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Female Pop Artist.

Other early winners included Elton John and Kendrick Lamar.
