Chlöe chatted with Billboard on the red carpet of the 2021 American Music Awards about finding her voice as a solo artist, writing her debut album and getting advice from Beyoncé.

During the 2021 American Music Awards on Sunday night (Nov. 21), Chlöe took to the Xfinity stage to treat fans to a scorcher of a performance. After descending from the sky, looking angelic in a white latex outfit as a gospel choir soundtracked the entrance, the artist delivered her solo debut, “Have Mercy.”

Following the song’s September release, it debuted at No. 3 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B Songs and in the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Complete with unmatched choreography and unwavering vocal power, Chlöe cemented her status as a must-book awards show performer. Surrounded by dancers in pink latex leotards and bedazzled face masks, she closed out her set with a dance break featuring high kicks, step-clapping and, of course, the splits.

All the while, her sister — and other half of R&B duo Chloe x Halle — cheered her on from the crowd.

Måneskin were total rock stars during their performance of “Beggin’” at the 2021 American Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 21).

Their first-ever performance at the awards show, the Italian rock band sported suits with bowties as strobe lights flashed to the tune of their hit song. Lead vocalist Damiano David also rocked thick eyeliner and black fingernail polish.

Måneskin was nominated for favorite trending song for their hit song “Beggin’” at the 2021 AMAs. The song first released in 2017 and appears on their debut EP Chosen. Thanks to TikTok, the “Beggin’” went viral and eventually hit streaming services as fans began discovering the band and their catalog in the wake of their win at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest (with the song “Zitti e buoni”). Their “Beggin’” peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the Global 200 chart.

Country crooners Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood sang from their hearts as they delivered a moving rendition of their duet “If I Didn’t Love You” during Sunday night’s 2021 American Music Awards.

The duo was clad in black as they sang from an outdoor locale in Nashville. Aldean played the piano throughout the performance.

Underwood and Aldean hit the stage after Tyler the Creator’s spooky performance of “Massa.” Silk Sonic’s Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak previously kicked off the star-studded award show, hosted by Cardi B, by performing their new song “Smokin’ Out the Window” from their debut studio album, An Evening with Silk Sonic.

Aldean and Underwood released their summer single “If I Didn’t Love You” in July. It peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart last month. The track will appear on Aldean’s upcoming double album Macon, Georgia, set to be released on April 22. The 30-track project’s title pays homage to the singer’s southern hometown.

When it comes to production value at awards shows, Tyler, the Creator never seems to cut corners. That certainly remained true at the 2021 American Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 21).

Appearing onstage from behind the door of a propped up turquoise house, Tyler, wearing a brown down jacket, a pinned-up aviator hat and some white shorts, immediately jumped into the chorus of his Call Me If You Get Lost track “Massa.” As he spouted off the song’s flowing lyrics, the camera slowly widened out, revealing a full set behind Tyler of a small home in the middle of a snowy landscape.

As the rapper reached the song’s hard-hitting second verse, he was suddenly surrounded by flashes of white light in the now-dark landscape, as faux snow began pouring down onto the stage in a simulated storm. Slowly zooming back in, the camera soon focused entirely on Tyler’s face as he delivered the song’s poignant final lyrics before riding off the stage on the back of a moped: “I paint full pictures of my perspective on these drum breaks,” he spit. “Just for you to tell me it’s not good from your lunch break.” 

While Tyler was not nominated for any awards at Sunday’s ceremony, the rapper is a likely contender for the 2022 Grammy Awards thanks to the critical success of his sixth studio album Call Me If You Get Lost. Tyler was among dozens of performers at Sunday’s ceremony, including fellow stars Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Coldplay, Bad Bunny, Silk Sonic and many more.
