I’m not giving you a spoiler alert, because the AMAs were days ago and if you don’t know who won by now, you haven’t been on the internet. So.
By far, the big country winner of the night was Kane Brown. He beat out superstars Luke Bryan and Thomas Rhett for Favorite Country Male. He came out ahead of Thomas Rhett and Luke Combs for Favorite Country Album. And he also won Favorite Country Song for “Heaven,” edging out Dan + Shay’s “Tequila” and FGL and Bebe Rexha’s “Meant To Be.”
Here’s his acceptance speech for Favorite Country Male (and the good news is, he did NOT pass out).
His fiancée Katelyn Jae wasn’t with him – she was home watching on TV, but when his name was announced. Check out her reaction on Instagram here.
Carrie Underwood got her sixth AMA for Favorite Female Country Artist, in fact, she’s won that one every year since 2014. Check out her acceptance speech here.
Later, on social media, she says she got caught up in the excitement and the emotions and felt like her speech made no sense, and she left out half of what she wanted to say, so she finished here!
Not surprisingly, Florida Georgia Line took home the win for Favorite Country Duo or Group. Check out their red carpet interview with Jessie James Decker – and their STYLE.
Only one all-genre category included country artists. Florida Georgia Line and Maren Morris were both up for Collaboration of the Year for their projects with Bebe Rexha and Zedd, respectively. Neither won, but as they say, it’s an honor just to be nominated, right?
