#AMAs: American Music Awards: Cardi B and Drake Tie for Most Nominations

Cardi B and Drake are tied for most noms: eight each at this year's American Music Awards.
Cardi's debut record, "Invasion of Privacy," and Drake's fifth studio album, "Scorpion," have taken over the charts since their respective releases, so it'll be interesting to see who reigns supreme during the largest, fan-voted music award show of the year.
The show which starts at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT will be hosted tomorrow by Tracee Ellis Ross, and it will include performances by Taylor Swift -- who's opening the show with "I Did Something Bad" -- Jennifer Lopez, Camila Cabello, Mariah Carey, Cardi B with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, Post Malone with Ty Dolla $ign, Carrie Underwood, Halsey with Benny Blanco and Khalid, Ciara and Missy Elliot, Shawn Mendes and Zedd, Twenty One Pilots, Ella Mai, Panic! At the Disco, and Imagine Dragons.
