Jennifer Lopez Set to Host and Perform at the 2025 American Music Awards
In an exciting announcement, Jennifer Lopez is confirmed as the host and performer for the upcoming 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs). This marks her second time taking on the hosting role, having previously hosted the ceremony in 2015. Notably, Lopez has graced the AMAs stage with her performances over ten times, solidifying her status as a staple of the event.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards,” Jay Penske, CEO of Dick Clark Productions, remarked in a press statement. “Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show. We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kickoff celebration of summer.”
The 2025 AMAs is set to feature a performance by Lopez that promises to “showcase her unparalleled artistry and signature mix of music, dance, and visual spectacle.” This hints at a show-stopping display that audiences have come to expect from the iconic multi-talented star.
Lopez first hinted at her return to the AMAs last fall during the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special on CBS, playfully suggesting, “Maybe I’ll do it again one day.” The anticipation for her performance continues to build among fans and industry insiders alike.
A distinguished three-time AMA winner herself, Lopez is notably recognized as the first female artist to have both a No. 1 album and a No. 1 film simultaneously, demonstrating her versatile talents in the entertainment industry.
The fan-favorite award show will broadcast live from Las Vegas on Memorial Day, May 26, via CBS Television Network while also streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. Details regarding nominations for this year’s ceremony will be revealed at a later date.
Produced by Dick Clark Productions, the American Music Awards has remained a pivotal platform in the music industry. The event will also feature On the Rocks Premium Cocktails as the official cocktail sponsor of the event.
Founded by Dick Clark Productions, the AMAs is owned by Penske Media Corporation, which is the parent company of The Hollywood Reporter, formed through a collaborative venture with Eldridge.
