Taylor Swift was the big winner at this year’s American Music Awards, taking home a crystal pyramid for the evening’s top prize, Artist of the Year, and becoming the most decorated female artist in AMA history with a total of 23 wins (unseating Whitney Houston).

Also taking home awards were Camila Cabello, Post Malone, Migos, and more. The evening featured performances from Cardi B with J Balvin and Bad Bunny (“I Like It”), Carrie Underwood (“Spinning Bottles”), and Panic! At the Disco, who covered the iconic Queen anthem “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Black-ish actress Tracee Ellis Ross hosted for a second consecutive year, and Swift opened the event with a performance of “I Did Something Bad.”

The evening concluded with a video tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, followed by a performance of “Amazing Grace” from Gladys Knight, Ledisi, Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin, CeCe Winans, and musical director Rickey Minor.
