On Sunday night, the 2012 American Music Awards honoured a few of the musicians that have rocked our world all year. The biggest winner of the night was Justin Bieber, who took home the top prize, artist of the year. Justin managed to beat out Rihanna, Maroon 5, Drake and Katy Perry for the honour, which was surely no easy feat! The Canadian musician brought his mom onstage during his acceptance speech. Later on, when he won favourite pop/rock album for ‘Believe’, he was sure to thank his mentor, Usher.

Another big win included Taylor Swift nabbing her fifth award in a row for favourite country female artist. She later hit the stage for a masquerade performance of “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

Canada got some more love when Carly Rae Jepsen won the new artist-of-the-year award. We really thought it would go to One Direction, but every award show needs a few surprises!
