Several country stars added to their trophy cases on Sunday night (Nov. 22) at the 2020 American Music Awards (AMAs).
A little over a month after Blake Shelton championed fan-voted prizes at the 2020 CMT Awards, his Fully Loaded: God's Country edged out Luke Combs' What You See is What You Get and Morgan Wallen's If You Know Me for another fan-voted award, Favorite Album— Country.
Fans showered award show regulars Dan + Shay with three wins: two in country categories (Favorite Duo or Group and Favorite Song), plus they shared the hip-hop and pop-centric Collaboration of the Year prize with Justin Bieber for team-up "10,000 Hours." For Favorite Song— Country, Dan + Shay and Bieber edged out Maren Morris' The Bones" and the Shelton and Gwen Stefani duet "Nobody But You."
Morris won Favorite Female Artist— Country Honors, with fans picking perennial CMA nominations snub Kane Brown as Favorite Male Artist— Country.
As usual, country singer-songwriter turned pop megastar Taylor Swift won multiple major awards: Favorite Music Video for "Cardigan," Favorite Female Artist— Pop/Rock and the main prize of the night, Artist of the Year.
