Billie Eilish had a night to remember as she picked up seven prizes at the fan-voted awards show.

Eilish won artist of the year, as well as album of the year AND song of the year, for her hit Birds of a Feather.

The 23-year-old also scooped the award for favourite touring artist, favourite female pop artist, favourite pop album and pop song.

However, she was unable to collect her awards in person, as the singer is currently busy on her European tour.

In a video message, Eilish said she couldn't believe her huge achievement.

"This is so crazy. I feel speechless.

"I wish I could be there tonight", she added.

She thanked her fans in her acceptance speech, who she said she had "been lucky enough to learn from."

It was a special night for Beyoncé, who won two awards, for favourite female country artist and favourite country album for Cowboy Carter.

Although the popstar has won AMAs in the past, this was the first time that she had picked up trophies in the country categories.

Kendrick Lamar took home favourite hip-hop song for Not Like Us, and SZA scooped two awards for favourite R&B song and favourite female R&B artist.

British music legend Sir Rod Stewart got a huge surprise when he was presented with the lifetime achievement award by his own children on stage.
