The show started off with a bang as Taylor Swift opened the show with her latest single, I Did Something Bad.

Swift went on to win some of the biggest awards of the night including Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year, Favourite Female Artist – Pop/Rock and Favourite Album – Pop/Rock.

In one of her acceptance speeches, the 28-year-old turned political and encouraged everyone to vote at the upcoming elections.

“I understand how lucky I am to have anyone that cares about me or my music. Every time that you have made me lucky enough to ever get to stand on a stage and have something really sparkly in my hands and say thank you, every single time this happens … it means something different to me,” said Swift.

“This time it represents encouragement and motivation for me to be better, work harder and make you guys proud as much as I possibly can, so thank you for this incredible symbol of encouragement … this award and every single award given out tonight were voted on by the people.

“And you know what else is voted on by the people is the midterm elections on November 6. Get out and vote. I love you guys.”

The Delicate singer is now the most awarded female artist in the history of the AMAs, which was previously held by the late Whitney Houston.

Other big names who took to stage to perform were Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, Shawn Mendes and Zedd, Dua Lipa, Mariah Carey, Ciara and Missy Elliott, Ella Mai, Benny Blanco with Halsey and Khalid, Carrie Underwood, Camila Cabello, Twenty One Pilots, Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign and Panic!
