Spilling The Lizzo Tea
The members of BTS dished on meeting Lizzo at Harry Styles’ concert. “It was fun, very fun,” J-Hope said in a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, with Jungkook saying his shirt was soaked in sweat after dancing. While they couldn’t talk much with Lizzo due to noise, they were still able to share numbers with the hopes of working on a song together. “She’s so fire,” RM said.

Winning Artist of the Year
BTS made AMAs history by becoming the first K-pop artists to win Artist of the Year. In their acceptance speech, RM reflected on their first AMAs performance in 2017 and thanked their dedicated fans. “We were too excited and nervous at the time,” he said. “It’s been a long ride since then, but nobody could have ever bet on the odds of us standing here receiving this award, except y’all, ARMY.”

Ending The Night With “Butter”
Because performing once wasn’t enough, BTS closed out the award show with a smooth performance of their No. 1 hit “Butter.” Even without Megan Thee Stallion, who had to cancel her planned guest appearance due to a “personal matter,” the boys delivered a showstopper.
