It was a musical bash at the American Music Awards 2017 honoring everyone's favorite artist and the music they create. Tracee Ellis Ross did an amazing job hosting the spectacle full of top-line acts. We loved seeing Selena Gomez back on stage, Demi Lovato giving it to the Twitter trolls, Christina Aguilera's tribute to Whitney Houston and many other moments throughout the night. The highlight was when Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee won for "Despacito" in the Collaboration of the Year.
