CALIFORNIA, United States, Tuesday November 22, 2016 – She didn’t attend the 2016 American Music Awards on Sunday, but that didn’t stop Barbadian-born international superstar Rihanna from stealing the show.
She was the most awarded female artiste on Sunday night, winning three of the seven categories she was nominated in: Favourite Female Artist – Soul/R&B; Favourite Album – Soul/R&B, for ‘Anti’; and Favourite Song – Soul/R&B – ‘Work’.
Rihanna expressed gratitude in a post on Instagram.
However, RiRi lost out on the most coveted award of the night – Artist of The Year – which went to Ariana Grande. Rihanna and Drake were up also for Collaboration of The Year, for ‘Work’, but they lost to Fifth Harmony’s ‘Work from Home’ featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and Video of The Year which Justin Bieber won with ‘Sorry’.
The other category for which she was nominated, Favourite Female Artiste – Pop/Rock, was won by Selena Gomez.
