The 2017 AMAs wrapped up just a couple of hours ago!
From Tracee Ellis Ross‘ jokey chops, Kelly Clarkson and Pink opening the show with their powerful rendition of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” to Pink’s death-defying showing of her new song “Beautiful Trauma,” there isn’t just one great performance. K-pop group BTS, the only K-pop group to help the genre get its biggest moment in American history, became the first band to perform in Korean at the storied American award show, and you can bet that the crowd went wild.
The legendary Diana Ross took the stage to perform some of her biggest hits, right before she accepted the Lifetime Achievement trophy, which was handed to her by her entire family. Ross didn’t need acrobatics, dancers or visuals to show that at 73 years old, the woman can still rock the stage better than the young ‘uns.
