As the months go by, we get closer and closer to awards season, and while the Grammys and Oscars might be a few months off, the rest of 2013 still has some award show fun to offer! On Thursday, Kelly Clarkson and Will.i.Am announced the nominees for five categories for the American Music Awards.
The show is completely fan-voted, and stars like Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Rihanna are among the nominations. AND, although Miley Cyrus hasn’t made the nominees list just yet, it was announced that she’ll perform at the show. Better get those censors ready!
