The 43rd Annual American Music Awards are this Sunday! Media claims it will be a fun night of music, entertainment, and performances with host, Jennifer Lopez (I honestly don’t know how she has time for this with an upcoming TV show and a Las Vegas residency… Dang JLo, you go girl.) Tune-in to ABC at 7 p.m. central time for the festival of celebrities.
I’m most excited to see Ariana Grande perform her new single Focus, as well as see Coldplay perform their new smash hit Adventure of A Lifetime… if only Adele would grace us with her presence but she’s busy doing Saturday Night Live this week. I guess that’s okay…sighhh. (But seriously so excited for SNL)
