The 2022 American Music Awards brought together a collection of some of the hottest artists of all time to put on one hell of a show for fans across the nation! From Carrie Underwood to Anitta to Pink, who debuted her first live performance of “Never Gonna Not Dance Again” to open the show, every moment on the AMAs stage was electric!

 

Kicking the show off was one of the queens of pop herself, who performed not once, but twice during the evening. To start things off, she strapped roller skates on and rolled on into the AMAs with a crew of talented movers to recreate her incredible video live on stage. And guess what? She didn’t fall OR miss a note! And that was just the beginning!
