    Sunday night's American Music Awards were full of memorable moments. Selena Gomez debuted a new, blonde look and gave her first live performance since her kidney transplant. Tracee Ellis Ross wore so many amazing outfits, we basically lost count.

    But the most important moment of the night happened not on stage, but in the audience, when Niall Horan and Shawn Mendes sat next to each other, gazed longingly in each other's eyes, and made us believe in magic and happiness all over again.

    The internet was as pleased as we were.
