AMAs 2016: Watch Selena Gomez's Speech After Returning from Break

Selena Gomez returned from her break at the 2016 American Music Awards and she moved us to tears when she gave an acceptance speech during the show!

The 24-year-old entertainer won the award for Favorite Female Artist – Pop/Rock and she thanked her fans for supporting her throughout her battle with lupus and a break to deal with depression and anxiety.

“I had to stop because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside. And I kept it all together, enough to where I never let you down. But I kept it too much together to where I let myself down. I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram, I want to see what it’s here,” Selena said while tapping her heart.

VIDEO: Niall Horan Makes Solo Performance Debut at AMAs with 'This Town'

Niall Horan made his solo debut performance tonight!

We’re so proud of the former One Direction singer who performed “This Town” during the 2016 American Music Awards tonight in Los Angeles.

All Niall had on stage with him besides his guitar, was a pianist, a drummer, a cellist and a backup guitarist!

“You always get nervous before these kind of things. When it’s your own gig, you can get away with it a little bit more. The whole crowd comes to see you, so you can kind of get away with a bit more messing about. But when it’s this kind of thing, you get nervous�it’s live TV,” Niall shared ahead of his performance.
