If there was one thing we took away from the 44th annual American Music Awards, it’s that it should’ve been dubbed the Canadian Music Awards, given the solid presence of Canucks in the house: Drake, The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber (via Zurich)… hell, even Nina Dobrev was there.
Model Gigi Hadid and comedian Jay Pharoah did a decent job co-hosting the fan-voted ceremony, making jabs at Melania and Donald Trump, respectively, which generated a lot of heat on Twitter. (What else is new?). Although pretty much a repeat of the MTV VMAs, there were still a handful of key moments that went down. Here, the major highlights from the 2016 AMAs.

Niall Horan serenading the audience
Irish sweetheart Niall Horan (of One Direction fame) took to the stage to perform his debut single, “This Town.” And although his set had us swooning, we must say the the performance was rather tame. Also, can we just point out that he performed without his signature Ireland earpiece?! Shame. Still love you though, Niall.

Fifth Harmony’s Mad Max-esque costumes
Jav teacher
With Lauren Jauregui coming out as bisexual just last week (get it, girl!), all eyes were on Fifth Harmony and their performance. Turns out they didn’t disappoint. FASHION’s former cover stars performed their hit “That’s My Girl,” decked out in Mad Max-meet-Pirates of the Caribbean-esque costumes and hair extensions galore, on a set that screamed post-apocalyptic-dystopian weirdness. Long story short, it was freaking fantastic!

Drake’s adorable Degrassi shout out
Actress Nina Dobrev presented the award for Best Rap/Hip Hop Album to fellow Degrassi-alum, Drake. “Me and Nina were on Degrassi together, by the way,” the rapper announced during his speech, which brought out the giggles in both parties. Views, what? More like feels. And all of them!
