LOS ANGELES -- Machine Gun Kelly, JoJo Siwa and Brandy are among the Hollywood A-listers to reveal the winners at the 2021 American Music Awards on Sunday.

They'll be joined by Ansel Elgort & Rachel Zegler, Anthony Ramos, Billy Porter, JB Smoove, Liza Koshy, Marsai Martin, Madelyn Cline and Winnie Harlow, producers announced Friday.

This year's fan-voted show, hosted by rapper Cardi B, will take place live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

"Oh the pressure on me! They got a lot of pressure," Cardi B, a five-time American Music Award winner and 2018 performer, told "Good Morning America" Friday. "I mean, how can I excite the audience? Should I show my child? No, no, no, I'm now not gonna do that. I don't know, I'm just gonna be myself."

"Good Morning America" announces the 2021 AMA nominees for Artist of the Year and Favorite Trending Song on Thursday, Oct. 28.
