For the show’s opening number of “Tipsy (A Bar Song),” viewers caught a glimpse of the exterior rooftop at W Hollywood, which featured a massive billboard with the breakout star inside of the venue and eventually brought them into the hotel. From there, the star walked down a grand staircase as a spectacle of back-up dancers and even some crowd participation filled the number. Later on, he followed up the performance with an intimate offering of his single, “Highway,” which is featured on his album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

As explained by Carly Van Sickle, Sr. Director of Global Brand Marketing for W Hotels, W Hollywood was the perfect destination for Shaboozey’s performances. “It really sits at the intersection of where the energy of Hollywood and the music scene meet and collide,” she said. Meanwhile, Ben Mor, the director of the star’s performance, explained why he enjoyed collaborating with the star on his performances, saying, “Working with an artist like Shaboozey is great because he knows how he wants to be presented and has a really strong sense of style.”

After opening the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), presented by Marriott Bonvoy with “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey showed off a different side with a rendition of his follow-up single, “Highway.”

The three-minute performance saw the singer join his band in front of a fireplace and a projection of imagery to churn out the intimate track at W Hollywood, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio. “I might die on the highway/ With all my regrets (Yeah)/ I’ve been driving for miles and miles and miles, I can’t see where it ends (Yeah),” he crooned on the track’s chorus. “Highway” is featured on his album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which dropped in May.
