BTS will make what is billed “a special appearance” at the 52nd American Music Awards on Monday, May 25. It will be their first award show appearance in four years. The group is nominated in three categories – artist of the year (an award they won in 2021), song of the summer for “Swim” and best K-Pop artist (they won favorite K-Pop Artist in 2022).
When BTS won artist of the year in 2021, they became the first group to win the top prize since One Direction in 2014-15. In winning that year, BTS broke Taylor Swift’s three-year grip on the award (though she came back to win again the following year.) Both superstar acts are competing again in the category this year.
