The 2025 American Music Awards are finally here, and yep, the hype is real. Airing live from the Fontainebleau Las Vegas tonight (May 26, 2025) the AMAs are back with a bang; serving major looks, iconic moments, and the kind of celebrity energy that makes us wish we were sitting front row. With Jennifer Lopez returning as host (ten years after she last did it!), this year’s show already had big sparkle potential. But the presenter lineup? That’s the real scene-stealer.
Meet the Presenters
This year’s group of presenters is an eclectic mix of musicians, actors, influencers, athletes, and internet icons — basically a who’s who of pop culture in 2025. Whether they’re handing out trophies or hyping up performances, these presenters are bringing personality, charisma, and plenty of fan love to the stage.
Alix Earle: Social media’s golden girl. Alix made her name with get-ready-with-me vlogs and raw, relatable TikTok content that launched her into influencer stardom.
Cara Delevingne: Fashion icon and actor. Cara started as a model and seamlessly pivoted into film, with credits like “Paper Towns” and “Suicide Squad” under her belt.
Ciara: R&B royalty. Known for smash hits like “Level Up” and “1, 2 Step,” Ciara’s also a dancer, producer, and full-on entertainment powerhouse.
Dan + Shay: Country-pop crooners. This Grammy-winning duo is beloved for emotional ballads like “Speechless” and high-energy tracks like “Tequila.”
Dylan Efron: Adventurer and producer. He’s Zac Efron’s brother, but Dylan’s built his own brand through outdoor content and behind-the-scenes film work.
Jordan Chiles: Olympic gymnast. Jordan wowed the world in Tokyo and again in Paris 2024… now she’s flipping into the pop culture spotlight.
Kai Cenat: Streaming superstar. Known for his hilarious Twitch streams and YouTube chaos, Kai is one of Gen Z’s most-watched creators.
Megan Moroney: Country’s rising rebel. Her debut album “Lucky” put her on the map with relatable lyrics and a fresh, bold voice.
Nikki Glaser: Comedian and truth-teller. Nikki’s stand-up is raw, hilarious, and unfiltered; and she’s not afraid to roast a celeb or two.
Shaboozey: Genre-blender. Mixing hip-hop and country like it’s no big deal, Shaboozey’s viral hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is already a 2025 anthem.
Tiffany Haddish: Comedy queen. Her breakout in “Girls Trip” cemented her place as one of Hollywood’s funniest (and realest) voices.
Wayne Brady: Multi-talented icon. Whether he’s singing, dancing, or improvising on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” Wayne does it all.
Heidi Klum: Runway legend. From “Project Runway” to “America’s Got Talent,” Heidi’s been serving fashion and fierce opinions for decades.
Machine Gun Kelly: Genre-hopping artist. MGK’s gone from rap to punk rock, and his bold style choices keep him in the spotlight.
Jon Batiste: Music’s modern maestro. An Oscar, a Grammy, and a whole lot of soul… Jon’s artistry spans jazz, pop, and everything in between.
G-Eazy: West Coast rapper. Known for his slick production and collabs with the likes of Halsey and Bebe Rexha, G-Eazy brings the cool factor.
