Less than a month away, the American Music Awards just announced their nominations and some of your favorite artists – Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Post Malone, and Billie Eilish – have been nominated!
These are the best artists in all of AMERICA – at least, these are the artists that have been nominated for 2019 American Music Awards. Leading the 2019 AMAs pack are Post Malone, who scored seven nominations. Behind him is the current queen of pop music, Ariana Grana, and the “Bad Guy” herself, Billie Eilish. Both of them scored six nods, with Billie up for New Artist of the Year. She’ll go up against Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Luke Combs, and Ella Mai, according to Billboard. As for the top prize – Artist Of The Year – it comes down to some music heavyweights.
Taylor Swift, Drake, Halsey, Ariana and Post Malone are all nominated for Artist of the Year. Taylor, notes Billboard, currently holds the most wins (four) in the category. If she wins two more AMAs, she’ll surpass Michael Jackson’s record for the most AMAs of all time. She’s currently nominated for five: Best Artist, Favorite Music Video (“You Need To Calm Down”), Favorite female Artist – Pop/Rock, and Favorite Artist – Adult Contemporary.
