However, none of the two artists received their awards in person, because they did not attend the event. They were among rather large number of high profile music artists who ditched AMAs 2026. Some US sources have attributed the low attendance by prominent music artists at the event on this occasion to, among others, the following.

1. Change of the event's venue from Los Angeles, CA, to Las Vegas, NV

2. Change of the event date from November to May

3. Probably change of the event's broadcasting network from ABC to CBS

American Music Awards 2026 alias 52nd Annual American Music Awards or simply AMAs 2026 took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV, on May 25, 2026 (local time). The award ceremony was hosted by Queen Latifah.
