International superstars, BTS were the big winners at Sunday’s American Music Awards, picking up three prizes including artist of the year.
The South Korean band also took home best pop group for the third year in a row, and best pop song for their chart-topping dance anthem, Butter.
Fans went crazy as they performed twice during the evening, appearing with Coldplay first for a pyrotechnically-assisted version of My Universe; before closing the show with a rendition of Butter – their latest hit.
Another winner of the evening was America’s sweetheart, Taylor Swift who won best female pop artist for the sixth time, also taking home best pop album for Evermore, her most recent release.
Those two prizes brought Swift’s total tally of American Music Awards to 34, extending her lead as the artist with the most wins. Michael Jackson is in second place with 26 wins.
