Notes on consistency
- Several outlets reported BTS and Sabrina Carpenter as major winners, with BTS taking Artist of the Year and Song of the Summer, and Carpenter taking multiple pop categories. Different outlets occasionally show slightly different category pairings or spellings for artists like Katseye and HUNTR/X, reflecting rapid post-show reporting and multilingual coverage. If you’d like, I can pull a single, authoritative list from a specific source (e.g., the AMAs’ official site or a major entertainment outlet) and present a clean, citation-backed table.
Would you like me to verify with an official source and provide a compact, side-by-side table of all categories and winners with inline citations?
