Ciara kicked off the American Music Awards with style on Sunday evening, rocking a striking black and red outfit. The talented 35-year-old singer took the stage at the Microsoft Theater to present the Favorite Album – Soul & R&B award. This came after energetic performances from Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, and host Taraji P. Henson. Ultimately, The Weeknd walked away with the award, triumphing over tough competition from Doja Cat’s Hot Pink and Summer Walker’s Over It.
The opening act at the American Music Awards on Sunday evening kicked off with Ciara taking the stage in a stunning red gown that flowed elegantly as she moved.
The first winner of the award was The Weeknd, who triumphed over Doja Cat’s “Hot Pink” and Summer Walker’s “Over It”. Ciara made quite an entrance in a stunning flowing red dress featuring a plunging neckline and a leg-baring slit, all while sporting stylish cornrowed hair. To complete her look, she paired the dress with thigh-high black leather boots and accessorized with multiple necklaces, silver hoop earrings, and several rings. The singer and wife of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson certainly turned heads with her bold and chic ensemble.
Ciara stunned in a gorgeous red dress with a deep V-neck and a thigh-high slit, complemented by her stylish cornrow hairstyle. She quickly transitioned from hosting duties to presenting at the Microsoft Theater in LA.
Her seventh studio album, Beauty Marks, dropped in May 2019, leading up to her hosting gig. Despite recently welcoming her third child, Win Harrison Wilson, in July, Ciara wasted no time getting back to her busy schedule.
Ciara took on hosting duties shortly after hosting the show herself at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles. In August, she dropped her latest single, “Rooted,” featuring Ester Dean, but there’s no word yet on a new album release. Ciara and Wilson began dating in 2015, got engaged in March 2016, and got married that July. Their first child together was born in 2017, while Ciara had her first child with ex-husband Future in 2014.
Ciara dropped her latest single Rooted featuring Ester Dean back in August, but fans are still wondering if a new album is in the works. Ciara actually got her start in the music industry as a songwriter, penning tracks like 10,000 Times for Blu Cantrell’s debut album. She also wrote hits like Got Me Waiting for Fantasia Barrino before launching her own successful solo career. With albums like Ciara: The Revolution, Fantasy Ride, Basic Instinct, Ciara, and Jackie under her belt, this talented artist has certainly made her mark on the music scene.
Despite the surge in COVID-19 cases nationwide, the audience at the event was limited as the award show organizers implemented various safety precautions. A spokesperson from Dick Clark Productions reassured Rolling Stone that they have strict COVID-19 guidelines and protocols in place, which have been approved by unions and the L.A. County Department of Public Health. All attendees had to undergo testing beforehand and will be regularly tested throughout the event. Additionally, facial coverings were mandatory for everyone inside the venue, except for background dancers who were also required to wear masks.
Ciara began her journey in the music industry by showcasing her talent as a songwriter, contributing her first song titled 10,000 Times to Blu Cantrell’s debut album So Blu.
