ABC and dick clark productions announced Monday that Taraji P. Henson is set to host the 2020 American Music Awards.
Henson said in a statement: “The AMAs bring together the music community to celebrate what really drives all artists – the fans. I’m proud to take the stage as this year’s host – and also a fan – for what promises to be an electrifying night of music.”
Nominations for the 2020 AMAs were announced last month, yielding five nominations for first-time nominee Megan Thee Stallion — including nods in the New Artist of the Year and Collaboration of the Year categories — becoming the most-nominated female artist this year. Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and first-time nominees DaBaby and Doja Cat all earned four nominations each.
