This past weekend all eyes in entertainment were focused on the American Music Awards held in Los Angeles, California.
From Selena Gomez making her debit after a year-long hiatus with her hit single, Wolves, to Portugal the Man making their " No Computers, Just Live Instruments," statement during their performance "Feel it Still," the AMAs were the talk of the town.
Of course the actual show was the main attraction, however there were a lot of happenings over LA to prep for the big day. One notable production, the GBK Pre-AMA gift lounge where everyone celebrated the Nominees and Presenters for the 2017 American Music Awards to give back to the hurricane survivors. The attendees included Randy Jackson, Bridgette Neilsen, Emma Kenney, Alan Floyd, Joey Lawrence, Khandi Alexander, Marcus Scribner, Sofia Milos, Ta’Rhonda Jones, Bloena and many more.
