Olivia Rodrigo won a pair – New Artist and Album – while Adele was voted Female Artist. The People’s Choice for Social Star of 2021 was Britney Spears.
Christina Aguilera performed a medley of her hits and accepted the inaugural Music Icon award. "I have always strived for my music to communicate messages of empowerment, whether it’s speaking my own truths or giving voice to those unable to do so on their own," she said. "My artistry has always been for the fighters in this world, for those who face adversity, for those wanting to evoke change, my music is for you."
