Queen Latifah Returns to AMAs as Host

0:00It's April 6th. Music news today starts now. AI powered and always on beat. Queen Latifa is stepping back onto the American Music Awards stage as host after 30 years. She first co-hosted back in 1995 with Tom Jones and Lori Morgan. This year's show hits the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 25th, airing live on CBS and Paramount Plus for Memorial Day weekend. Dick Clark Productions is behind it all and tickets are up for grabs now on AXS. Latifa calls it the perfect spot to celebrate an epic year in music straight from the heart of Vegas energy. Fans and execs are buzzing about her return. She's a trailblazer with real ties to artists and crowds alike, making her ideal to spotlight the year's top hits and stars. Last year Jennifer Lopez hosted as Billie Eilish swept seven awards, including artist, album, and song of the year. Beyonce made history with her first country wins there too.
