Pitbull will be joined by a slew of celebrity presenters to help him dish out the awards across the show’s 22 categories. Among the 2o14 presenters are Uzo Aduba, Jhene Aiko, Elizabeth Banks, Aloe Blacc, Lauren Cohan, Gavin DeGraw, Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, Becky G, Brantley Gilbert, Danai Gurira, Lucy Hale, Ella Henderson, Julianne Hough, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kira Kazantsev, Heidi Klum, Mary Lambert, Rose McGowan, Danica McKellar, Pat Monahan of Train, Olivia Munn, Kevin O’Leary, Pentatonix, Tracee Ellis Ross, Taylor Schilling and Meghan Trainor.

A notable moment will be when Taylor Swift receives the first-ever “Dick Clark Award for Excellence.” According to the AMA website, Swift is being given the accolade because of her historic album sales. She is the only artist in history to have three albums (“Red,” “Speak” and “1989”) debut with more than 1 million copies sold in their respective first weeks of release.
