Dove Cameron shares tribute to Colorado Spring shooting victims during AMAs: ‘You are so loved’

Singer Dove Cameron gave a powerful tribute to the Colorado Springs shooting victims during her award acceptance at the American Music Awards (AMAs).

The AMAs took place hours after news broke of a mass shooting at Colorado Springs gay club, Club Q, which has left five dead and at least 25 injured. 

As tributes have poured in from across the political and cultural world, Cameron joined them with her own message after winning New Artist of the Year. 

“I want to start by saying that every award that I ever win will always first and foremost be dedicated to the queer community at large. 

“You guys have carved out such a space for me to be myself and to write music about it and I have never felt safer or more loved or more supported, and I hope I can give you some semblance of that same feeling in my music. 

“On the heels of the tragedy that happened in Club Q in Colorado Springs I want to remind everyone how important queer visibility is and how important community is.

“I want to direct your attention toward organisations like GLAAD and The Trevor Project for what you can do right now.

“I want to remind you that you are made absolutely right and you are so loved and so held and I want to thank you for supporting me and thank you for holding this space, I’m holding it for you too.”



I’ll say this: @DoveCameron’s performance for “Boyfriend” and acceptance speech for New Artist of the Year were *the* highlights of the #AMAs. Nothing else came close. pic.twitter.com/M66k1Sv6Na
