The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) are bringing some serious star power to the stage this year, and the lineup just got even more exciting.
Set to air live from Fontainebleau Las Vegas on May 26, the show will feature breakout sensations Benson Boone and Lainey Wilson, alongside music legends Gloria Estefan, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and rising star Reneé Rapp.
Benson Boone, who’s scoring his first AMAs nomination this year, will light up the stage with his latest single, “Mystical Magical,” off his upcoming album American Heart, dropping June 20.
Blake Shelton, a three-time AMAs winner, is making his live AMAs performance debut with a track from his new album For Recreational Use Only, released earlier this month.
After a long 32-year break from performing at the AMAs, icon Gloria Estefan is making a heartfelt return, celebrating five decades of her iconic career. Fun fact: she co-hosted the awards in 1990 and 1993. So, her comeback is definitely a full-circle moment.
Gwen Stefani is bringing nostalgia with a medley that honors the 20th anniversary of her debut solo album, Love.Angel.Music.Baby. Expect to hear the unforgettable “Hollaback Girl” alongside fresh tunes from her newest release, Bouquet.
Country queen Lainey Wilson is riding high after snagging four awards at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards and will bring that energy straight to the AMAs stage. She’s been touring Europe and is ready to hit the U.S. with her Whirlwind World Tour.
Reneé Rapp, a pop newcomer, will make her AMAs performance debut with songs from her upcoming sophomore album. You might remember her from the 2023 MTV VMAs Extended Play stage, where she wowed as one of the hottest rising stars.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez is slated to host the event, while the legendary Janet Jackson will be honored with the ICON Award — plus, she’s set to perform for the first time on TV since 2018. With 11 AMAs wins under her belt, her return to the stage promises to be one of the night’s most unforgettable moments.
Internet reacts to 2025 American Music Awards performer lineup: “my god no ones tuning in”
As the performers' lineup for the 2025 American Music Awards was released, the internet quickly buzzed with reactions. But not all fans were impressed, with some expressing disappointment, noting the absence of big-name artists they expected to see on the star-studded stage.
An X (formerly Twitter) user simply tweeted:
“No A-list artist?”
A netizen echoed:
“No A listers???? Or AMA doesn't invite A list performers???”
One more questioned:
“is this all the performers ???”
A commented read:
“I’m curious if Gen Z considers this a stacked A-list lineup. Or is it common sense / general consensus that award shows now have become C-list hangouts?”
