Reneé Rapp Serves Up Sass With ‘Leave Me Alone’ at 2025 American Music Awards

Reneé Rapp lit up the 2025 American Music Awards on Monday night (May 26) with the live debut of her brand new single, “Leave Me Alone.”

Introduced by pal Jake Shane, the Mean Girls star kicked off the performance in front of a crowded, makeshift bathroom mirror with three of her dancers before kicking down the set to reveal the stage at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

“Got my hair tied up, phone on don’t disturb/ Leave me alone, babe, I wanna have fun/ I wear my jeans so low, show my my little back dimple/ Leave me alone, babe, I wanna have fun/ Even line my lips just to match my nipples/ Leave me alone, babe, I wanna have fun,” Rapp swaggered on an edited version of the track’s opening verse.

Later, she climbed the steps of the set to join her backing band — all of whom wore white T-shirts emblazoned with the bold statement “I WOULD DIE FOR RENEÉ RAPP” in all caps.

“Leave Me Alone” serves as the lead single for Rapp’s upcoming sophomore studio set, Bite Me, which is slated for release on Aug. 1 viva Interscope Records. (The song’s lyrics also happen to cheekily reference the wait between 2023’s Snow Angel and the star’s forthcoming follow-up, with her rapping, “Manager called me, said, ‘Where’s that single?’/ Leave me alone, babe, I wanna have fun/ ‘Oh you’re breaking up, babe, I don’t got no signal!’”)

Ahead of the album’s summertime release, Rapp will join the likes of Mariah Carey, Lola Young, KSI, Busted vs. McFly, Zara Larsson, Dasha, Jessie J and fellow AMAs performer Benson Boone on the lineup of Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard 2025 at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 15.

Alex Warren Makes No ‘Ordinary’ Award Show Debut at the 2025 AMAs

Marking the latest stop on his extraordinary rise to pop stardom following the success of “Ordinary,” Alex Warren has made his award show debut by performing the breakthrough track at the American Music Awards on Monday (May 26).

Taking the stage in Las Vegas late in the show, the TikToker expertly built up the momentum while singing live for the first time ever on an award show, starting out soft as he tenderly crooned the romantic ballad while joined by a gorgeous harp accompaniment. As the song crescendoed, a large choir appeared behind him on stage, adding body to the song before a wall of fiery sparks lit up the background in sync with the track’s most climactic moment.

“You’re taking me out of the ordinary/ I want you laying me down ’til we’re dead and buried,” Warren sang, passion showing in his facial expressions. “On the edge of your knife, staying drunk on your vine/ The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowing we found/ Something so out of the ordinary.”

Trending on Billboard

The performance comes as “Ordinary” is spending its third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, a feat that reflects just how much the track has taken the world by storm in recent months. It also reached a new peak at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated May 10.

While riding the success of “Ordinary,” Warren has been preparing his next album, which will feature new song “Bloodline” featuring Jelly Roll, which dropped May 22. The duo first premiered the track at the country star’s Stagecoach set in April.

This year, the AMAs were hosted by Jennifer Lopez, featuring awards such as artist, song and album of the year. Kendrick Lamar had the most nominations with 10 total, followed by Post Malone with eight, and Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey with seven.

The American Music Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.

Eminem Wins Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist at 2025 American Music Awards: ‘Thank You to the Fans’

Eminem has won favorite male hip-hop artist at the 2025 American Music Awards. Twenty-two years after taking home his first AMA in the same category, Slim Shady returned to win against some loaded competition on Monday night (May 26).

The Detroit rapper took home the win over the likes of Drake, Future, Tyler, the Creator and Kendrick Lamar. It’s the ninth American Music Award victory for Em to add another accolade to his decorated trophy case.

Project Runway‘s Heidi Klum presented the award, and the supermodel joked about once recording a track with Snoop Dogg, which makes her “the most unexpected hip-hop artist to come out of Germany.”

Trending on Billboard

Unfortunately, Em wasn’t in attendance as he remained home in Detroit, but delivered an acceptance speech via video for his millions of fans across the globe.

“AMAs, what’s up? Favorite male hip-hop artist, thank you, I appreciate that. I think it’s been 23 years since I won my first AMA and I’m 24 years old. That’s crazy. Seriously, man, thank you to the fans. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I appreciate y’all. Thank you so much.”

It’s been more than 10 years since Em won an American Music Award, with his last victory coming in 2014 for favorite rap/hip-hop album thanks to The Marshall Mathers LP 2.

2024 was a busy year for Eminem, who returned with his The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) in July. The project debuted atop the Billboard 200 — Em’s 11th album to go No. 1 — with 281,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending July 18, according to Luminate. At the time of its arrival, TDOSS was the largest week of any rap album in 2024.

Gwen Stefani Hollas Back to a Pair of Solo Classics During 2025 American Music Awards Medley

Gwen Stefani hollered back to some of her career favorite hits at Monday night’s (May 26) 2025 American Music Awards. After an introduction from husband Blake Shelton — who called her his “one and only” — Stefani celebrated the 25th anniversary of her favorite pop/rock female artist AMA win with a three-song medley beginning with her recent country-tinged single “Swallow My Tears.”

Bathed in soft-focus light, the No Doubt singer and solo star crooned the tune’s opening lines from a field of tall golden grass while wearing a billowing, bedazzled white dress. She hit the stage at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas with four backup dancers in short white minidresses, who swooned around her as the tempo shifted and Stefani spun her way into her 2006 hit “The Sweet Escape.”

Trending on Billboard

With the long portion of her skirt whisked away by a dancer, the singer moved back onto the main stage for a candy-colored swing through the Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit. With her backups twirling oversized lollipops and sweets, Stefani was joined by six male dancers dressed in jackets, ruffled shirts and kilts on the dreamy doo-wop pop tune.

The medley ended with a run through her iconic 2005 Hot 100 No. 1 single “Hollaback Girl,” with backing from a horn section in red suits with fringed collars and, of course, giant gold belt buckles reading “BANANAS” in a nod to the song’s signature chant. With her crew now dressed in marching band regalia — complete with towering furry hats — Stefani got the crowd fired up to join in on the shout-along chorus “This s–t is bananas/ B-A-N-A-N-A-S.”

Benson Boone Backflips Over ‘Mystical Magical’ at the 2025 American Music Awards

Benson Boone took over the stage at the 2025 American Music Awards on Monday night (May 26) to perform his new single “Mystical Magical.”

Wearing a patchwork purple suit glittering with rhinestones, the mustachioed musician kicked off his number by crooning, “There’s nothing colder than your shoulder/ When you’re dragging me along like you do, like you do/ And then you switch up with no warnin’/ And you kiss me like you want it/ How rude, how rude.”

As the song ramped up, Boone performed one of his signature backflips on stage, upping the ante this time by impressively clearing an entire staircase of eight steps on the stage of the Fountainebleu Las Vegas. The gravity-defying move also happened to land him right in the front row, where he flirted with Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum as he sang, “I know you’ll come around to me eventually/ If you sit back, relax and join my company/ Oh, baby, trust me.”

The coy moment amusingly continued the singer’s recent history of awards show bits with the pair, who helped with the mid-performance reveal of his viral blue jumpsuit at the 2025 Grammys back in February.

“Mystical Magical” serves as the second single off Boone’s upcoming sophomore album, American Heart, which will drop June 20 via Night Street and Warner Records. The LP also contains lead single “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” and the newly released “Momma Song.”

During the telecast, Boone was up for his very first American Music Award for new artist of the year — a trophy that ultimately went to fellow pop sensation Gracie Abrams in a crowded field that also included Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tommy Richman.

Gracie Abrams Dedicates New Artist of the Year Win to Fans at the 2025 AMAs: ‘This Belongs to You’

After a banner breakthrough 12 months, Gracie Abrams has won new artist of the year at the 2025 American Music Awards — and she’s giving the glory right back to the people who got her there in the first place.

After Nikki Glaser read off the “That’s So True” singer as this year’s winner at the ceremony in Las Vegas (May 26), it was revealed that Abrams could not attend in person due to her ongoing global tour. The musician did, however, share a pre-taped thank-you message, which she started by saying that she was “so sad not to be in the same room as all of you tonight” before shouting out her fellow nominees — Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tommy Richman — “whose music and whose careers I admire so much.”

“The reason this means so much to me tonight is that I know this is a fan-voted award,” Abrams continued, looking casual as she addressed the camera in a blue sweatshirt. “This belongs to the community of people I’ve been lucky enough to learn from over the past few years of putting music out.”

“This belongs to you,” the Los Angeles native added. “Thank you so much for caring about the music.”

Abrams’ win comes nearly a year after she dropped her breakout album, The Secret of Us, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The Grammy nominee has since graduated from playing theater-sized venues to arenas, the likes of which she’s been performing in all over Europe, Asia and Australia this spring on her The Secret of Us Tour.

Her AMAs acceptance speech is far from the first time Abrams has made her fanbase the focal point of her successes. She’s long been cultivating a community with her listeners — dating back to when she simply posted snippets of her songs on Instagram before she ever even released anything — and in her April Billboard cover story, Abrams said that despite her career explosion this past year, everything “feels as connected as it did six years ago” when it comes to her relationship with her fans.

“I think the best use of me as a human being on this planet, at least right now, is trying to use my writing or storytelling to make as many people as possible feel connected to themselves and to this community,” she added at the time. “That is what I think I’m here for right now.”

Hosted this year by Jennifer Lopez, the AMAs are airing live on CBS as well as streaming on Paramount+. The night will also see stars taking home awards such as artist of the year, album of the year, song of the year and more, with Kendrick Lamar leading with 10 nominations.

Jennifer Lopez Opens 2025 American Music Awards With Medley of Last Year’s Biggest Hits, Kisses Dancers

Days after receiving stitches for a nose injury during rehearsals, Jennifer Lopez opened the 2025 American Music Awards “dancing [her] heart out” to a medley of hits — 23 to be exact — as part of an energetic six-minute blitz to kick off the show on Monday night (May 26).

J. Lo hit the stage in Las Vegas in a sparkling leotard that looked like a combination of her 2019 It’s My Party Tour wardrobe mixed with a couture spacesuit. Lopez, alongside her sharp dance team, ripped through routines surrounding an array of anthems that dominated streaming service playlists and radio stations throughout the last year.

She strutted across the Fontainebleau Las Vegas stage filled with laser beams and pyrotechnics to her own hit “Dance Again” as well as plenty of Kendrick Lamar bangers such as GNX‘s “Squabble Up” and “TV Off” along with his lethal “Not Like Us” Drake diss.

The 55-year-old kept the party going with choreography to Doechii’s “Denial Is a River,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” Tinashe’s “Nasty Girl,” Charli xcx’s “Guess,” Tyler, the Creator’s “Sticky,” Bruno Mars and ROSÉs “APT.,” Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Bad Bunny’s “NuevaYol,” Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” and more.

In the midst of her performance to “Lose Control,” Jenny From the Block got the Sin City crowd riled up when she briefly made out with some of her backup dancers.

J. Lo showed off her stamina, going directly from performing to hosting for the night. She’s no stranger to the AMAs stage, previously hosting the award show in 2015.

“I had to kick things off by turning it up to the biggest songs of the year and dancing my heart out for all of you, but tonight, the spotlight belongs to you, because this is the world’s largest fan-voted award show where you decide the winners,” she said after her medley.

Shakira Falls Onstage During ‘Whenever, Wherever’ Performance at Montreal Concert

Shakira experienced a slight mishap during her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour stop at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, on Tuesday (May 20).

While performing her 2001 hit “Whenever, Wherever,” the Colombian superstar slipped and fell onstage. Fan-captured footage shows Shakira just about to launch into the song — which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 — when she lost her footing, slid forward and tumbled sideways onto the stage.

The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer quickly got back on her feet and continued the performance like a pro.

“She handled it like the boss that she is,” one fan wrote on X. Another added, “A great example of resilience! I hope she didn’t get injured. Such falls cause pains and injuries the next morning.”

Trending on Billboard

This isn’t the first setback of Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour. Back in February, she was forced to postpone back-to-back shows at Lima, Peru’s Estadio Nacional due to a health issue.

“I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,” she shared on Instagram at the time. “I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today,” she added, expressing how much she had been looking forward to reuniting with her fans in Peru.

Since its launch on Feb. 11 in Rio de Janeiro, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour has featured surprise guest appearances from musical heavyweights like Grupo Frontera, Carlos Vives, Maluma, Wyclef Jean, Alejandro Sanz, Ozuna and Rauw Alejandro.

The global trek landed Shakira at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Tours chart for March. She previously led February’s list with $32.9 million in reported earnings and doubled that figure in the another recent update. As of late April, the tour had brought in $70.6 million from 11 reported shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.

The North American leg continues with upcoming stops in Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco. The tour heads to Mexico in August and September, followed by a return to Peru in November for the two resculed shows.
