Since Selena Gomez performed at the American Music Awards in 2014, 2015, and 2017, it’s no surprise the show entrusted her with the evening’s first performance at Sunday’s award show. Tonight marked Gomez’s first televised performance in two years, as well as the TV premiere of her new singles, the moody ballad “Lose You to Love Me” and neon dance song “Look at Her Now.” On Sunday, Selena went classic Hollywood for her No. 1 Billboard hit before (presumably) tearing off her gown and joining her holographic-pom-pom-covered backup dancers for her second song. And as for her moves, well, Britney Spears’s 2007 VMAs performance has nothing on her. Gomez performs ahead of her upcoming new album, tentatively titled SG2, due out January 10, 2020.
