ABC will air the show live at 8 p.m. ET from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and delayed at 8 p.m. PT in the West.
Bad Bunny picked up his first AMA nom for Artist of the Year, where he’ll face the sextet named above. Swift has taken home that marquee award a record six times.
More than 40 acts scooped their first AMA nominations this year, including Jack Harlow and Tems — who have four each — Latto, BlackPink, Anitta and Swedish House Mafia. Elsewhere, Elton John set a record for the awards’ longest-recognized act; he got two noms, and was up for Top Pop/Rock Male at the inaugural AMAs in 1974.
