In 2016, fresh off her sizzling collaboration with pop icon Britney Spears on the hit single “Slumber Party,” Tinashe was expected to make a statement at the American Music Awards as a performing artist. Instead, the multi-talented singer-songwriter, dancer, model, actress, and producer showcased her versatility by stepping into an unexpected role: red carpet host.

Taking over “E! Live from the Red Carpet” at the 2016 AMAs, Tinashe confidently shared hosting duties, giving veteran Giuliana Rancic some friendly competition while dazzling fans with her signature bold fashion.
