The American Music Awards are pulling out all the stops for their 2013 ceremony. Today (Nov. 13), the annual event announced three more big name performers. Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and a recently reunited TLC will all perform at the Nov. 24 ceremony in Los Angeles.
According to the AMAs website, Perry will get the ball rolling at the AMAs with an opening performance of her second Prism single "Unconditionally." The loving ballad, which received a stunning rendition at the MTV EMAs, will get yet another television appearance in a performance that has Perry bringing out "all the big guns," according to Twitter.
Meanwhile, Lopez will be performing a tribute to Latin music legend Celia Cruz, who passed away 10 years ago. Cruz is known as one of the most influential women in Latin and Cuban music, with an expansive discography that has led to multiple tributes since her death. Cruz has been honored with postal stamps, a musical and even her own Google doodle in October of this year.
The final performance announced today will be a welcome return to the AMAs. Legendary R&B girl group TLC will perform alongside an unannounced "special guest," who could be anyone from sometimes-rapper Lil Mama or their producer Ne-Yo. It has yet to be confirmed what song(s) TLC will perfom.
Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and TLC join the list of high-profile performers at this year's AMAs. Other artists appearing include: Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, One Direction, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Florida Georgia Line, Imagine Dragons and more.
Pitbull -- who will be performing his new single "Timber" with Ke$ha" -- will host the AMAs. The massive celebration of music will air at 8 p.m. Nov. 24 on ABC live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
