Also due to perform are Selena Gomez, as well as Taylor Swift, recipient of the AMAs Artist of the Decade award.
Camila Cabello, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Lizzo will all perform at the 24 November American Music Awards in Los Angeles.
For six-time American Music Award nominee Eilish and Lizzo, who’s up for three trophies this time, it’ll mark the stars’ first performance at the annual gala. Cabello and Lipa are back on familiar turf, having performed at last year’s ceremony.
Eilish, Cabello, Lipa and Lizzo join previously announced performers Selena Gomez, as well as Taylor Swift, recipient of the AMAs Artist of the Decade award.
As previously reported, Post Malone leads the pack with seven nods, with Ariana Grande and first-time nominee Eilish close behind with six each. Swift could make history on the night. If she wins two of the five categories she’s nominated in, she’ll pass Michael Jackson on the all-time AMAs winners list.
As uDiscover Music previously reported, Post Malone leads the nominees list with seven nods, with Ariana Grande and first-time nominee Billie Eilish following with six each. Eilish is up for new artist of the year, competing against Luke Combs, Lil Nas X, Lizzo and Ella Mai. Malone and Grande are both nominated for one of the night’s biggest honors, artist of the year, alongside Halsey, Drake and Taylor Swift. Swift currently holds the most wins (four) in the category and might go on to surpass Michael Jackson’s record for most AMAs of all time if she wins two of the five categories she’s nominated in.
Elton John, meanwhile, received a nod for the Tour of the Year trophy for his ongoing Farewell Yellow Brick Road trek. The pop-rock legend will compete for the prize against Ed Sheeran, BTS, Ariana Grande and Pink.
Queen are vying for the Favourite Soundtrack honour for the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack. The other nominees in the category are the A Star Is Born soundtrack by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper and the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack.
