BTS Star Jimin Shines Alongside Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar at American Music Awards

Jimin of BTS continues to prove his global influence, as highlighted in the American Music Awards (AMA), one of the biggest music award shows in the United States. According to prominent Indian media outlet The Indian Express, Jimin was one of only three artists featured in a headline thumbnail image alongside Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar.

Nominated for the Favorite K-Pop Artist category, Jimin’s presence next to such high-profile global stars reflects his rising dominance in the international pop scene. His reputation as a top-tier artist is further solidified by repeated features on official platforms for major awards like the Grammy and Billboard.

Previously, Billboard highlighted Jimin multiple times in thumbnails alongside artists like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. The Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammy Awards, also spotlighted Jimin’s stunning performance of Butter as one of the ‘Top 3 Must-See Moments from the 2022 Grammy Awards.’

Since debuting with BTS, Jimin has played a crucial role in establishing the group’s identity through exceptional performances. Now as a solo artist, he’s making history on his own—becoming the first Korean soloist to top the Billboard Hot 100 without collaborations, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo track.

The upcoming American Music Awards, which will be held in Los Angeles on May 26 at 5 PM, is one of the top three annual music award shows in the United States. Fans worldwide are anticipating whether Jimin will take home the trophy in his nominated category.
