Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson and Florida Georgia Line were representing country music at Sunday night’s (Nov. 19) 2017 American Music Awards. The ceremony took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Calif.
Clarkson — who brought stepdaughter Savannah and daughter River Rose to the 2017 AMAs — opened the annual awards show with a cover of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” in collaboration with Pink. Later on in the evening, Florida Georgia Line took the stage with Hailee Steinfeld, Alesso and Watt to perform their song “Let Me Go.”
Urban was the biggest country winner at the 2017 American Music Awards: He took home three trophies, and was sure to thank his wife, Nicole Kidman, who attended the awards show with him, as well as their two daughters, who were watching at home.
“I love you girls so much,” Urban said from stage. “Thank you for all the love in our home and in my heart.”
