Cardi B has been announced as the host of the 2021 American Music Awards. The show, hosted by MRC Live & Alternative and ABC, will be held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 21.
This is the first time that Cardi will serve as a host, leading music’s hottest night of the year through showstopping performances and moments.
