Billie Eilish Sweeps 2025 American Music Awards, Winning All Seven Nominated Categories Las Vegas, NV – May 27, 2025 – Billie Eilish dominated the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs), held on May 26 at the Fontainebleau Resort in Las Vegas, securing victories in all seven categories for which she was nominated. The 23-year-old pop sensation solidified her status as a generational talent, taking home top honors including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Hit Me Hard and Soft, and Song of the Year for her hit single “Birds of a Feather.” Eilish, who was unable to attend the ceremony due to her ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, delivered heartfelt virtual acceptance speeches, expressing gratitude to her fans. “Oh my God, Artist of the Year, this is so crazy,” Eilish said in one of her recorded messages. “I feel speechless, thank you all so much, I love you so much.” Her other wins included Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Pop Album, and Favorite Pop Song, marking a flawless sweep at the fan-voted awards show. The 2025 AMAs, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, marked the return of the ceremony after a two-year hiatus. The event featured electrifying performances, including a show-opening medley by Lopez that incorporated hits from nominees like Eilish, Beyoncé, and Sabrina Carpenter. Other highlights included Janet Jackson’s first television performance in seven years, following her receipt of the Icon Award, and Rod Stewart closing the night with “Forever Young” after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by five of his children. Eilish’s seven wins outshone other major nominees, including Kendrick Lamar, who led with 10 nominations but took home only one award for Favorite Hip-Hop Song with “Not Like Us.” Beyoncé earned two awards—Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album for Cowboy Carter—while Eminem marked a triumphant return, winning Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Hip-Hop Album for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), his first AMA wins in 15 years. New Artist of the Year went to Gracie Abrams, and BTS’ RM made history as the Best K-Pop Artist. Despite the star-studded event, notable absences included Eilish, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Kendrick Lamar, with some critics noting a lack of A-list star power, as social media influencers filled much of the guest list. Swift, who holds the record for the most AMA wins with 40, was nominated in six categories but did not win any, a surprising shutout for the pop icon. Eilish’s sweep underscores her continued influence in the music industry, following her nine Grammy Awards and two Academy Awards. Her album Hit Me Hard and Soft, released in May 2024, has been praised for its introspective lyricism and innovative production, resonating deeply with fans who voted her to the top of multiple categories. The 2025 AMAs also introduced new categories, including Social Song of the Year, won by Doechii for her viral track “Anxiety.” Other notable winners included Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for Favorite Music Video and Collaboration of the Year for “Die With a Smile,” and Post Malone, who earned his first country music award as Favorite Male Country Artist. The ceremony, broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, celebrated a diverse range of talent across genres, reaffirming the AMAs’ status as the world’s largest fan-voted music awards. As Eilish’s victories continue to make headlines, her sweep at the 2025 AMAs cements her as one of music’s brightest stars.
