Award shows always provided our favorite artists an opportunity to throw the most amazing live shows, and they definitely didn’t disappoint this year. We’re bringing you five amazing performances that created a lot of buzz in 2019.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga – Academy Awards
The Oscars isn’t exactly a music award show, but this list would be incomplete if we failed to mention this moving rendition of “Shallow” that immediately went viral.
Alicia Keys – Grammy Awards
This year’s Grammy Awards featured a series of pretty amazing moments, but none of them compares to seeing host Alicia Keys play on two pianos at once.
Lizzo – MTV Video Music Awards
This list could easily consist of Lizzo’s live performances and nothing else, and no one would complain, but her amazing set at the MTV Video Music Awards made the biggest impact.
Taylor Swift – American Music Awards
Taylor Swift received the Artist of the Decade award at this year’s AMAs and delivered an epic medley of her greatest hits that lasted over 10 minutes, and it really doesn’t get better than that.
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello – MTV Video Music Awards
The first live rendition of the chart-topping song “Señorita” wasn’t the most theatrical performance at MTV Video Music Awards, but it won us over with the pure emotion that the duo brought to the stage.
