Last night (November 20th) was filled with music, fun and laughs at the 50th annual American Music Awards, which took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Wayne Brady brought the funny and impromptu freestyles while hosting the night in celebration of music of all genres. Taking his job quite seriously, he even broke into a freestyle rap in honor of the award show and later did a quick dance number with professional dancer and choreographer Witney Carson, his partner on Dancing With the Stars. Brady also gave a tribute to Takeoff of the Migos who was tragically shot and killed in Houston earlier this month. As far as awards go, Taylor Swift took home top honors, winning Artist of the Year, as well as Favorite Pop Album for Red (Taylor's Version), Favorite Music Video for "All Too Well: The Short Film" and several others. Dove Cameron won the award for New Artist of the Year while Dan + Shay walked away with the nod for Favorite Country Duo or Group. And despite there being controversy surrounding Chris Brown's abruptly canceled performance in tribute of the 40th anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," Brown won the award for Favorite Male R&B Artist. The nod was presented by R&B singer Kelly Rowland, who gathered audience members who chose to boo following Breezy's win. Rowland honored Chris and thanked him for his contributions to R&B music. Closing out the night, Smokey Robinson introduced Lionel Richie and presented him with the Icon Award. Stevie Wonder and Charlie Puth then put on a tribute performance for Icon Award winner.

BROADCAST AUDIO Dove Cameron acceots Artist of the year award "Wow. Thank you so much. This is so meaningful to me. I want to start by saying that every award that I ever win will always first and foremost be dedicated to the queer community at large. You guys have carved out such a space for me to be myself and to write music about it, and I've never felt safer or more loved and more supported, and I hope I can give you some semblance of that same feeling in my music. On the heels of what happened in Colorado Springs, I want to remind everyone how important queer visibility is and how important our community is. And I want to direct your attention to organizations like Glad and the Trevor project. I want to remind you that you are made absolutely right and you are so loved and so held, and I want to thank you for supporting me. Thank you for holding the space. I'm holding it for you too. Thanks, guys. Cheers and applause" 1:00 OC...too thanks guys Cheers and applause Machine Gun Kelly accepts favorite rock artist of the year award "Thank you to the fans who got me here. And I love you. I just want to say I'm petitioning for larger mic stands next time. This suit is really uncomfortable to pee in. Speaking of uncomfortable, there have been some people in the rock community who called me a tourist, but they're wrong. I'm a rocket man. I -- we weren't born on the moon, but we looked at it and we were curious, and we went there supposedly. And these last two rock albums to me were me going to the moon." :42 OC....to the moon Cheers and applause ​​Dan and Shay accept Favorite Country Duo or Group "Dan: I think this mic stand is a pretty good height for me.
