The 2018 American Music Awards air Tuesday, Oct. 9 on CBS, with a host of stars set to attend the show, present and perform.
Jennifer Lopez will take the stage to sing "Limitless" from her upcoming film Second Act, with the star sharing a video of her rehearsals in anticipation of the show.
"It has to be strong," Lopez tells her team of all-female dancers in the clip. "It can't be soft, it can't be pretty, it can't be beautiful. It has to look like a man dancing it...'cause what we're saying is we're equal."
The show will be opened by Taylor Swift, who revealed on Instagram last week that she will be singing "I Did Something Bad" from her 2017 album, Reputation. The performance will be Swift's first at an awards show in nearly three years.
Also appearing on the AMAs stage is Carrie Underwood, who will perform her song "Spinning Bottles" from her most recent album, Cry Pretty, while Imagine Dragons will take the stage for their current single, "Natural."
