From Karol G’s theatrical performance in water, to Peso Pluma bringing us into the ring with a very special guest, the reimagined Billboard Music Awards took over the world Sunday night with performances and acceptance speeches from all corners of the globe. Morgan Wallen rocked out the Braves Stadium in Atlanta with his latest “98 Braves.” It was the big winner of the night, taking home 11 awards, including top Hot 100 artist. And in a monumental move, Taylor Swift received 10 awards, while Drake took home five, making them tie with 39 each, making them both the most awarded artists in BBMA history.
Other memorable moments include Mariah Carey showing us why she is the queen of the season with “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Both Stray Kids and NewJeans showed us why K-pop is so massive.
On the awards side, Karol G took home two awards for top Latin female artist and top Latin touring artist, and Peso Pluma won for top Latin song. It was a big night for our new K-pop categories as well, with Latto and Jung Kook grabbing top global K-pop song for their team up on “Seven.” Stray Kids walked away with top K-pop album, and NewJeans nabbed the award for top global K-pop artists.
