In a fan-driven event, the 2025 American Music Awards have revealed their nominees, with Kendrick Lamar taking the lead. Fans now have multiple ways to support their favorite artists by casting votes through various platforms before the ceremony on May 26, coinciding with Memorial Day. This article outlines the methods and guidelines for participating in this prestigious music celebration.
Fans eager to influence the outcome of the AMAs can engage via two primary channels: online voting and social media participation. For those choosing the digital route, visiting VoteAMAs.com provides an easy platform to express preferences across numerous categories. The alternative method involves interacting on Instagram. By accessing the official AMAs profile, fans can locate a dedicated pinned post labeled "VOTE HERE." Underneath this post, participants must comment using designated hashtags corresponding to each artist and category found on the official website.
It's important to note that only one hashtag per comment is allowed, necessitating separate comments for each choice. Additionally, users' Instagram accounts must be public for their votes to be valid. Each day leading up to the awards, fans can submit up to 25 votes per category per method. However, special Turbo Days—April 29, May 6, and May 13—allow double the usual voting limit.
Social media voting concludes on May 15 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Meanwhile, web-based voting remains open until the same time for most categories. Exceptions include collaboration of the year and social song of the year, which extend voting until the live broadcast begins on May 26 at 5:30 p.m. PT. These two categories also feature extra Turbo Days on May 20 and May 26, with the final Turbo Day lasting until half an hour into the show.
Jennifer Lopez will grace the stage as host for this year’s AMAs, broadcasting live from Las Vegas and streaming on Paramount+ within the U.S. Fans are encouraged to actively participate in shaping the results of this iconic event, ensuring their voices are heard alongside the melodies of their beloved musicians.
