BTS To Make Special Appearance At American Music Awards 2026 After Four-Year Gap
BTS, the global K-Pop icon, will officially make their return to the American Music Awards 2026 after a four-year absence. Fans from around the world are already abuzz with excitement for their “special appearance” on May 25th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after months of anticipation since the announcement of their special appearance.
This seven-member group is nominated for three categories at this year’s event: artist of the year, song of the summer (for “swim”), and best K-Pop artist. In 2021, they won the artist of the year award, being the first group to accomplish this honor since One Direction and breaking the then-3-time winner (Taylor Swift) streak for this award.
In 2026, BTS continues their worldwide domination in the entertainment industry, and they just extended their No. 1 streak on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Swim.” The group’s latest album, ARIRANG, topped the Billboard 200 for multiple weeks and is now the only BTS studio album to be No. 1 for more than one week in a row. As of BTS' recent week on top of the chart, they are firmly establishing their global presence.
