One Direction, Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Iggy Azalea came out the big winners of the 2014 American Music Awards. One Direction and Katy Perry won the most awards with three, while Taylor Swift took home the Dick Clark Award for Excellence.

The "Shake It Off" singer, who has sold more than 2 million copies of her latest album 1989 in less than a month, opened the show with her newest hit "Blank Space." She just became the first woman in Billboard Hot 100 singles history to replace herself at No. 1. The pop superstar steered clear of her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles.

Other standout performances included Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj singing "Bang Bang" and Iggy Azalea doing her hits "Fancy" and "Beg for It."

As MStars News reported, ABC censors were already laying down the rules for Iggy's performance with Jennifer Lopez of their racy song "Booty." But the two played it cool last night with only some spanking and butt shaking as the sexiest parts of the routine.

In the end, the AMAs came out with 11.6 million viewers, which is down 15 percent from last year when it scored 13.14 million viewers.
