The 2015 American Music Awards are in the books, and the annual extravaganza – with its honors voted on by the fans – lived up to its billing. By default. If you watched, you’re most likely interested in the A-list stars and popular artists (term used loosely at times) that cleaned up Sunday. Plus, with Queen of the Booty herself Jennifer Lopez as MC , how could that alone not make this over-the-top musical gathering an event to remember? The only drawback? Taylor Swift did not attend. Crushing. Check out the complete list of winners below to find out who walked away with the honors, and check back with THG all day for full-ass aAMA coverage: ARTIST OF THE YEAR Luke Bryan Ariana Grande Maroon 5 Nicki Minaj One Direction – WINNER Ed Sheeran Sam Smith Taylor Swift Meghan Trainor The Weeknd NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR Fetty Wap Sam Hunt – WINNER Tove Lo Walk The Moon The Weeknd SONG OF THE YEAR Wiz Khalifa Featuring Charlie Puth, “See You Again” Mark Ronson Featuring Bruno Mars, “Uptown Funk!” Ed Sheeran, “Thinking Out Loud” Taylor Swift, “Blank Space” – WINNER The Weeknd, “Can’t Feel My Face” COLLABORATION OF THE YEAR Wiz Khalifa Featuring Charlie Puth, “See You Again” Rihanna & Kanye West Featuring Paul McCartney, “FourFiveSeconds” Mark Ronson Featuring Bruno Mars, “Uptown Funk!” Skrillex & Diplo Featuring Justin Bieber, “Where Are Ü Now” – WINNER Taylor Swift Featuring Kendrick Lamar, “Bad Blood” FAVORITE MALE ARTIST – POP/ROCK Nick Jonas Ed Sheeran – WINNER Sam Smith FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST – POP/ROCK Ariana Grande – WINNER Taylor Swift Meghan Trainor FAVORITE DUO OR GROUP – POP/ROCK Maroon 5 One Direction – WINNER Walk The Moon FAVORITE ALBUM – POP/ROCK Ed Sheeran, X Sam Smith, In the Lonely Hour Taylor Swift, 1989 – WINNER FAVORITE MALE ARTIST – COUNTRY Jason Aldean Luke Bryan – WINNER Sam Hunt FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST – COUNTRY Kelsea Ballerini Miranda Lambert Carrie Underwood – WINNER FAVORITE DUO or GROUP – COUNTRY Zac Brown Band Florida Georgia Line – WINNER Little Big Town FAVORITE ALBUM – COUNTRY Jason Aldean, Old Boots, New Dirt Florida Georgia Line, Anything Goes – WINNER Sam Hunt, Montevallo FAVORITE ARTIST – RAP/HIP-HOP Drake Fetty Wap Nicki Minaj – WINNER FAVORITE ALBUM — RAP/HIP-HOP J.
