The trending 2016 American Music Awards had a stunning performance of The Chainsmokers and Halsey. Once again they joined forces to perform their eargasmic song "Closer". The performance closed with the percussion stylings of Travis Barker, the Blink 182 drummer.
Drew Taggart entered the stage with what might be a Han Solo-inspired getup and sang his verses with hard-earned confidence.

During their performance on the 2016 American Music Awards stage, the award-winning collaborators performed their eargasmic song "Closer" as if no strife has been stirred up.
