MRC Live & Alternative, the American Music Awards show producer, announced towards the end of October that country singer [[Morgan Wallen]] would not be allowed to attend the ceremony or accept any awards won remotely. Wallen received two nominations for Favorite Male Country Artist and Favorite Country Album. MRCL&A stated that "Wallen is a nominee this year based on charting. As his conduct does not align with our core values, we will not be including him on the show in any capacity (performing, presenting, accepting). We plan to evaluate his progress in doing meaningful work as an ally to the Black community and will consider his participation in future shows."<ref name="The_AMAs_2021_nominees"/><ref>{{cite web|last=Haring|first=Bruce|date=October 28, 2021|title=Morgan Wallen Banned From 2021 American Music Awards, But Door Left Open For Future Shows|url=https://deadline.com/2021/10/morgan-wallen-banned-2021-ameican-music-awards-but-door-left-open-on-future-1234864660/|url-status=live|access-date=November 3, 2021|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]}}</ref>

The 49th Annual American Music Awards were held on November 21, 2021, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, recognizing the most popular artists, singles and albums of 2021.[1] Cardi B hosted the ceremony, following Queen Latifah (1995) as the only female rappers in history to do so.[2][3][4][5][6] Cardi B became the first artist to win Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song three times. BTS, Doja Cat, and Megan Thee Stallion won three awards each.

The ceremony was notable as the first produced under the banner of MRC Live & Alternative, which was formerly known as Dick Clark Productions after use of that name was phased out the month before.[7] However, this would turn out to be the only year produced under this banner, as the Dick Clark Productions name was restored in August 2022.

Presenters were announced on November 19, 2021.[16]

Winners and nominees

[edit]

The nominations were announced on ABC's Good Morning America, Spotify's morning show "The Get Up", and also via the American Music Awards Twitter account on October 28, 2021. Olivia Rodrigo received the most nominations with seven, followed by the Weeknd with six, and Bad Bunny, Doja Cat and Giveon with five each.[17][18] BTS became the first Asian artist to receive Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards. Three new categories were introduced in 2021: Favorite Trending Song, Favorite Latin Duo or Group, and Favorite Gospel Artist.[19]

Additionally, it was announced towards the end of October that though country singer Morgan Wallen had two nominations, due to his personal conduct in 2020 and 2021 which saw his music removed from further publicity and the suspension of his recording contract, he was not allowed to attend the ceremony or accept any awards won remotely. The show's production company plans to evaluate his future conduct in including him in future ceremonies.[19][20]

Winners are listed first and highlighted in bold.[21][22]
