American Music Awards

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis weren't in Los Angeles to appear at the 2013 American Music Awards, but that didn't stop them from performing.

One of the best parts of the 2013 American Music Awards was seeing our favorite stars -- all mingling together! Thanks to Twitter and Instagram, we're able to see who was hanging out tonight.

Miley Cyrus and a crying cat avatar performed her powerhouse hit 'Wrecking Ball' at the 2013 American Music Awards. Hey, at least she left the life-sized bears, foam fingers and compulsion to twerk at home! It was a trippy performance (Nov. 24), and it came the day after Miss Miley's 21st birthday.

Nelly gave the audience at the 2013 American Music Awards a welcomed surprise when he joined country band Florida Georgia Line on stage, and it made the guests come to life.

Lady Gaga's performance at the 2013 American Music Awards was rich in American history, drenched in 'ARTPOP' flair. She started out seated at a desk and answering phones, acting as the secretary to the president, played by her duet partner R. Kelly. It was all uphill from there.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are currently in Miami, but that didn't stop the duo from appearing at the 2013 American Music Awards (Nov. 24). They beamed in from their concert in Florida, offering a satellite performance of their smash hit 'Can't Hold Us.'

Rihanna's 2013 American Music Awards performance had more of a historical significance. She was the first recipient of the Icon Award in the ceremony's 40-year history. The 'Unapologetic' singer was honored for selling 50 million albums, at least three times more in digital sales and being the "voice of a generation."

The internet hath no fury like One Direction scorned. When Alicia Silverstone mistakenly called 1D "New Direction" on the red carpet at the 2013 American Music Awards (which was seen live on air on E!), Directioners were not pleased. The fans took to Twitter to voice their anger over the mistake.

At 25 years of age, it’s amazing that Rihanna is being called an icon. At the 2013 American Music Awards Sunday night (Nov. 24), the R&B superstar received the first-ever Icon Award for trailblazing career in music.

Add speed reading to Ariana Grande's impressive list of talents! The songstress took home the Favorite New Artist trophy at the 2013 American Music Awards and showed just how fast she can speak -- and it's almost as well as she can sing!

The 2013 American Music Awards were rife with amazing performances from Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, One Direction, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Pitbull featuring Kesha and more. And you can catch them all here!

Rihanna, looking sexy and showing plenty of smooth, glowing skin in a strapless bra top paired with a long, sheer skirt, pocketed the Favorite Soul/R+B Female award at the 2013 American Music Awards tonight (Nov. 24).

Pitbull wasn't just the host of the 2013 American Music Awards Sunday night (Nov. 24). Because being the life of the party is just what he does, Pitbull decided to get on stage to perform his most recent hit, 'Timber.' Kesha came onstage to perform her part of the song.

Although 'Suit & Tie' and 'Mirrors' off 'The 20/20 Experience' were the bigger hits, Justin Timberlake chose to perform one of the non-singles from the sequel at the 2013 American Music Awards.

For the 2013 American Music Awards, our favorite stars dressed to the nines. While some singers, like Ariana Grande, opted to go ultra-glam, others, like Katy Perry, had fun with the red carpet. (We're still obsessing over her book clutch.) Check out the photos of this year's best dressed celebs.

The 2013 American Music Awards saw a lot of fashion hits ... and a lot of misses. While some celebs looked glamorous, others didn't quite live up to our hopes. Check out the worst-dressed stars below.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were big winners at the 2013 American Music Awards Sunday night (Nov. 24) in Los Angeles. The Seattle rap duo won a trophy for Favorite Album - Rap/Hip-Hop for their critically acclaimed album, 'The Heist.'

Miley Cyrus owned the 2013 American Music Awards with her pristine white suit. This instantly makes us remember when she wore a white tux jacket to the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, except this time she's wearing pants. And it looks awesome. The 21-year-old also posed for a heartwarming pic with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Justin Timberlake won the first award of the night at the 2013 American Music Awards Sunday (Nov. 24) in Los Angeles. The 'Suit & Tie' singer nabbed the Favorite Male Artist — Pop/Rock trophy.
