Taylor-Swift-Nicki-Minaj

Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and more were among the top stars to take home 2015 American Music Awards.

The evening was hosted by Jennifer Lopez, who opened with one of the longest dance breaks I’ve ever seen, proving that she’s still got it. From there, it was a star-studded night filled with emotional performances, edgy fashion and unforgettable moments.
