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.
