In honor of the American Music Awards this Sunday, we're looking back on last year's epic night. From Nicki Minaj throwing shade at Jennifer Lopez's dance moves to Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev's girls' night out to Ariana Grande's grandmother stealing the spotlight, it was a musical night to remember. But when it comes to big award shows, we dug a little deeper and found the best moments that you didn't get to see on TV. And since the AMAs are more like a relaxed party than a formal event, everyone from Harry Styles to Jennifer Lopez let a little loose. Keep reading to see the night's best candid moments (including some between then-couple Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama), then check out Justin Bieber getting soaked on stage.
