The New York duo delivered the hit's smoothest performance to date.
The Chainsmokers were the first to admit that their debut performance of "Closer" with Halsey at the MTV VMAs left some room for improvement.
"It sounded like sh-t," Drew Taggart bluntly told Billboard. "Nearly every other person lip-synced it, and we knew because we had them in our ears. So now I know why you lip-sync."
The New York duo took the lesson to heart tonight (Nov. 20) at the AMAs, tapping Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker for a dynamic stage show that featured stage dancers, fireworks and a special final drop that brought attendees to their feet.
