The American Music Awards are being good to Iggy Azalea this year. Not only does the "Black Widow" rapper lead the AMAs nominations, with six nods, but today (Oct. 31), it was also announced that Azalea will be performing at the ceremony.
Azalea joins One Direction, Fergie, her "Fancy" collaborator Charli XCX, Sam Smith, 5 Seconds of Summer and more in the official performance line up for the 2014 AMAs, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Riding off of the success of her debut album The New Classic and her top 10 singles "Fancy," "Black Widow" and "Problem" (with Ariana Grande), Azalea's star power and musical popularity makes her a no-brainer for the annual pop music celebration.
Azalea's AMAs dominance comes with six nominations, putting her ahead of the likes of Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and John Legend. She is nominated for: Artist of the Year, Single of the Year ("Fancy"), New Artist of the Year, Favorite Artist Female (Pop/Rock), Favorite Artist Rap/Hip Hop and Favorite Album Rap/Hip-Hop.
It is unconfirmed what track Azalea will perform at the AMAs, be it one of her smash hits or a new song from the upcoming re-issue of The New Classic, fittingly titled Reclassified.
Reclassified will be released on Nov. 24. It features new singles featuring MO, Charli XCX, Ellie Goulding and more.
As for the AMAs, the annual award show will air on Nov. 23 on ABC. Hip-hop star Pitbull will play host again, and Mr. Worldwide will also be performing.
