2018 American Music Awards: Taylor Swift, Cardi B and Camila Cabello shine among this year's winners
The 2018 American Music Awards, the world’s largest fan-voted awards show, was hosted by ABC’s 'black-ish' star Tracee Ellis Ross for the second year in a row. Ross wowed fans with her comedic timing, wit and numerous costume changes throughout the night, where music fans watched their favorite artistes and pop culture icons come together to celebrate music breaking barriers and those new to the contemporary music scene, live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 9, 2018, at 8:00 pm on ABC.
Taylor Swift stole the night with a fiery, heart-pumping show-opening performance of her single 'I Did Something Bad', in a sparkly one piece and thigh high boots as a cobra emerged over the flames on stage. She continued to take the stage throughout the night, taking home a total of four awards – surpassing Whitney Houston’s record of 21 trophies, and setting a new AMA record for most wins by a female of all time, 23.
