Watch Olivia Rodrigo perform ‘Traitor’ at the American Music Awards 2021

Olivia Rodrigo performed ‘Traitor’ at the American Music Awards 2021 tonight (November 21) in Los Angeles.

The ceremony was hosted by rapper Cardi B and also featured performances by the likes of BTS and Coldplay, Silk Sonic and Tyler, The Creator in its opening hour.

Going into the ceremony, Rodrigo was the most-nominated artist shortlisted for the AMAs this year, with seven nods.

The pop star performed ‘Traitor’ from her debut album ‘Sour’ at the ceremony, appearing on stage in front of an open white door. Playing the track on an acoustic guitar, Rodrigo was backed by a live band and surrounded by flowers on the darkly-lit stage. Watch footage of Rodrigo’s AMAs 2021 performance below.
