One consistent shining star throughout the night was Nicki Minaj, who took home the awards for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album for "The Pinkprint." Here are eight ways Nicki won the American Music Awards.
1. When she made this face during J. Lo's "Anaconda" dance routine.
Though we shouldn't read into it all too much.
2. This.
6. When she shouted out fellow nominee Fetty Wap while accepting the award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist...
...as well as her Pinkprint collaborators Beyoncé, Drake, Lil Wayne, Drake, and Chris Brown...
8. Finally, Nicki won off the sheer fact that she didn't even perform and was trending worldwide two hours into the show.
