Katy Perry “Unconditionally”
Katy Perry kicked started the AMAs on a beautifully decorated stage inspired by Japanese cherry blossom gardens. Her performance of Unconditionally was unconditionally bright, colourful, beautiful and amazing.

The One Direction boys are all grown up and so much more irresistible! Looking nothing but dapper in their all black and white suits, the boys performed their latest ballad Story of My Life.
Ariana Grande “The Way/Tattooed Heart”
Arianna gave a stellar performance of The Way and Tattooed Heart which earned her a standing ovation from the crowd.
Imagine Dragons “Radioactive”

Pitbull and Ke$ha “Timber”
It’s always fireworks with Pitbull! Taking a break from hosting the show, he joined forces with Ke$ha on stage for Timber!
Justin Timberlake “Drink You Away”
Justin Timberlake showed a new side to himself when he appeared on stage with an acoustic guitar in hand. The heartthrob performed Drink You Away with the backups of saxophones and more guitars – very southern jazz club like.
Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly “Cruise”/”Ride Wit Me”
Country and rap went together like strawberries and chocolate as Florida Georgia Line and Nelly joined forces in blending the genres together with Cruise/Ride Wit Me.
Rihanna “Diamonds”
Rihanna performed Diamonds with a set of violinist before accepting her award for AMA Icon.
Jennifer Lopez, Celia Cruz Tribute

Kendrick Lamar “Swimming Pools”
The B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe rapper was all smiles as her performed Swimming Pools for his debut AMA appearance.
Lady Gaga & R.Kelly “Do What You Want”
Lady Gaga and R. Kelly gave the audience a quirky performance of Do What You Want in a White-House inspired setting. Unpredictable as always, Lady Gaga is definitely a true performer and entertainer.
T.L.C. “Waterfalls”
Lil Mama joined the girls from T.L.C on stage to perform the 1995 hit, Don’t Go Chasin’ Waterfalls and Lisa Lopes was remembered after the performance.
Miley Cryus “Wrecking Ball”
