Dove Cameron, who was named New Artist of the Year, dedicated her win to the queer community.
“I want to start by saying that every award that I ever win will always be, first and foremost dedicated to the queer community at large. You guys have carved out such a space for me to be myself and to write music about it, and I’ve never felt safer or more loved and more supported, and I hope I can give you some semblance of that same feeling in my music,” Cameron told the crowd at the Microsoft Theater.
The AMAs represent the year’s top achievements in music determined by the fans.
