Jennifer Lopez fans, get ready! There's exciting news coming your way. The popular singer and songwriter will be hosting the American Music Awards 2025, happening next month. This is special because it marks her return as host after 10 years—she last hosted the show in 2015. The event will be broadcast live from Las Vegas on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, on CBS and will also stream on Paramount Plus in the US.

Jay Penske, CEO of Dick Clark Productions, in a press release, 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."

Jennifer Lopez, known for her hit song Let’s Get Loud, announced the exciting news on Instagram. She posted a video wearing a gorgeous red outfit, while a voice in the background said, “The American Music Awards are coming to CBS, hosted by Jennifer Lopez." In her caption, she wrote, “Good things come in threes JLO. AMA. CBS. On 5.26.25.”

Back in 2015, Jennifer Lopez wowed everyone with a high-energy dance performance featuring a medley of the year’s biggest hits. On the AMAs' 50th anniversary last year, she looked back on her journey in a recorded interview. She shared how special the awards are to her, recalling watching them as a young girl.

Reflecting on her debut performance at the American Music Awards in 2001, Jennifer Lopez recalled the electric energy in the room. It marked the beginning of her long association with the AMAs. Since then, she has delivered more than 10 memorable performances over the years, making her a show regular.

Looking back on her 2015 hosting stint, Jennifer Lopez hinted at her playful approach, saying she had planned to change outfits every time she stepped on stage. Teasing fans, she added that she might just do it again someday — a subtle clue to her return as host this year.

The 2025 American Music Awards will be broadcast globally on both TV and digital platforms. The star-studded music event is being produced by Dick Clark Productions.
