The American Music Awards has just announced a few more big names to its already impressive line-up of artists who will be performing at the gala broadcast from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles this month.
Along with Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Ke$ha – all nominated for artist of the year – organizers have announced that Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Kid Rock will be joining the star-studded line-up. Other previously announced performers include Bon Jovi, Pink Usher, Ne-Yo, Diddy, New Kids on the Block, and Christina Aguilera, who will be performing a number from her upcoming movie Burlesque.
Eminem and Lady Antebellum lead the pack with five nominations each, followed closely by Justin Bieber with four nominations, including artist of the year, one of the most coveted honours.
“As a small-town kid from Canada, I never imagined that I would be nominated for AMAs, let alone be performing on the show,” Bieber told Associated Press. The 16-year-old pop sensation said he was “extremely humbled and honoured” by the invitation to play the show.
Winners will be determined by online voting at ama.abc.com. The awards show airs live Sunday, November 21, at 8 p.m. ET.
