KPop Demon Hunters' EJAE & Rei Ami Accept Song of the Year at AMAs 2026
- "Golden," the breakout soundtrack hit from Netflix's animated film "KPop Demon Hunters," claimed Song of the Year on Sunday at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas, defeating Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" and other major contenders.
- The film's record-breaking success—surpassing 10 billion global streams and becoming Netflix's most-watched title of all time—set the stage for "Golden's" continued recognition, following its Academy Award and Golden Globe wins earlier this year.
- During the acceptance, EJAE and Rei Ami credited fans and the production team; Rei Ami called it a transformative year and celebrated her 31st birthday, saying "This movie, this song is fueled by the fans."
- "Golden" swept three categories at the ceremony, while Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" received no recognition despite Swift remaining the award show's most decorated artist with 40 career prizes.
- BTS dominated the night by capturing best artist for their album Arirang, with member RM telling the crowd "We made it once again" after the group's return from mandatory military service, thanking fans who stood by them for 13 years.
