And thus ends another enthralling installment of the American Music Awards.

Sunday's AMAs was basically a three-hour long showcase of what music has to offer today -- lots of butt shaking. Dozens of artists, from Jennifer Lopez to Lorde to Imagine Dragons performed (or should we say they auditioned to perform at the Grammys).

The #AMAs2014 is a 2hr variety show where performers try to sell records. The awards are like participation medals you got in 1st grade— Enty Turducken (@entylawyer) November 24, 2014

If you can't handle me at my AMAs, then you don't deserve me at my Grammys.— Frank Lowe (@GayAtHomeDad) November 24, 2014

One Direction and Iggy Azalea picked up a few awards, the Kardashians spoke and Pitbull made a chuckle-worthy joke or two. Oh, and Taylor Swift won the night, because what isn't she winning these days?

Take a look at everything that went down, so you have something to talk to your 12-year-old niece about at Thanksgiving.
