Olivia Rodrigo and The Weeknd Lead 2021 American Music Awards Nominations: See the Full List!
The American Music Awards are around the corner!
On Thursday, the AMAs announced who's nominated — and first-time nominee Olivia Rodrigo leads the list with seven categories. The Weeknd follows with six while Bad Bunny, Doja Cat and Giveon are tied with five nods each.
The Sour songstress, 18, is nominated in the artist, favorite female pop artist and new artist of the year, while her song "drivers license" is up for favorite trending song, music video and pop song. Also, her album Sour is up favorite pop album.
Rodrigo could break the record for most wins for a first-time nominee if she earns five of her seven awards. (Olivia Newton-John and Justin Bieber are tied for the record at four each.)
Along with Rodrigo, Ariana Grande, BTS, Drake, The Weeknd and Taylor Swift — who won last year — are up for artist of the year.
In the male pop artist category, 2020 winner Justin Bieber faces off against Ed Sheeran, Drake, Lil Nas X and The Weeknd. Meanwhile, last year's female pop artist Swift is up against Rodrigo, Grande, Doja Cat and Dua Lipa.
Along with his artist and male pop artist of the year nominations, The Weeknd is also up for favorite male R&B artist, along with favorite music video and favorite pop song for "Save Your Tears" and favorite Latin song for his "Hawái" collaboration with Maluma.
And Swift, who took home three awards last year, may once again break her own record for most AMA wins of all time. She currently holds the record with 32 wins.
Among first-time nominees, Rodrigo is joined by the likes of Giveon, Kali Uchis, Saweetie and 24kGoldn.
