It’s the 2016 American Music Awards, and everyone’s favorite artists will hit the stage to perform their best songs. Jay Pharoah and Gigi Hadid will host this year, and in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the 21-year-old model said that she and her co-host may “break into a little musical thing” during Sunday night’s festivities. The A-list performers lineup includes fan-favorites like John Legend, Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj (who will be performing their hit song “Side to Side”) and The Weeknd.
