2013 American Music Awards winners
The 39th American Music Awards highlighted the most popular in music and included bizarre performances, wacky outfits and a special recognition for a Bajan pop princess. Rihanna was awarded the first Icon award at the AMAs and was presented with the trophy by Bill Maher and her mother, Monica Braithwaite.
“I know the journey and your career has not always been an easy one,” said Braithwaite to her daughter, who wore crystal bobby pins and a black bodysuit. “But tonight I applaud and admire you for being so strong and so positive and so humble and so focused. I’m so blessed to be part of this historic moment.”
Other big winners for the night included Taylor Swift, who took home the Artist of the Year award for the third time; and Justin Timberlake, who won for Favorite Male Pop Rock Artist.
