BTS Triumph at American Music Awards as Black Eyed Peas Reunite

BTS dominated the American Music Awards, taking home some of the night’s biggest honours as Black Eyed Peas reunited during the ceremony.

The K-pop superstars secured the event’s top award, further cementing their global success following their return from a nearly four-year hiatus earlier this year and a world tour reportedly worth around $1bn.

BTS also won song of the summer for their single Swim and were named best male K-pop artist.

Their label partners Katseye picked up the new artist of the year award.

Meanwhile, Golden — the breakout track from the animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters — was named song of the year.

Sabrina Carpenter enjoyed a successful evening after winning album of the year for Man’s Best Friend. She also claimed awards for best female pop artist and best pop album.

Justin Bieber was named best male pop artist.

BTS beat a strong field in the top artist category, including Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga.

The group also overcame competition from artists such as Harry Styles, Tame Impala and PinkPantheress in the song category.

Despite entering the awards with eight nominations, Taylor Swift — the artist with the most AMA wins in history — left the ceremony without an award.
