On Wednesday, Jennifer Lopez announced her return as both host and performer at the American Music Awards (AMAs). The show will air live from Las Vegas on Memorial Day, May 26th. This is the second time that JLo has hosted the award show. Her first stint as host was ten years ago, back in 2015.
In a press release, Jay Penske, CEO of Dick Clark Productions said, “We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards. Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show. We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick-off celebration of summer.”

The American Music Awards is the largest fan-voted awards show in the world and honors today’s most influential artists and their passionate fanbases.
