How to watch the 2020 American Music Awards on ABC live without cable
The 2020 American Music Awards, which honor the best and brightest artists in nearly every genre of music, are taking place tonight at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Hosted by Taraji P. Henson, the socially distanced event will feature live performances from Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Megan Thee Stallion, Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber, the Weeknd, Kenny G, and many others.
