A behind-the-scenes look at Teddy Swims’ BBMAs performance for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Patrick Adair:Hi, I’m Patrick Adair. I’m the art director for Teddy Swims. Teddy and his team really were the ones who guided this from the beginning. It’s totally their vision, his vision, and I think we’ve done a great job bringing it to life.

Teddy Swims:We kind of got the creative for, I guess, the whole album and the performances I was really obsessed with, like this, retro futurism, this, this old movie, A Clockwork Orange.

Patrick Adair:A ton of work goes into planning a performance like this, and it all happened within the period of a week.

Jairus “JJ” Hardge:This particular performance I’m very excited about. We’re gonna have people standing behind us and surround again, almost like a 360 setup, and the energy is gonna be crazy, and just super excited about doing these songs for you guys. I’ve been working with Teddy 13-14, years. He’s my brother. It’s not work. We love music. I love his heart, his passion, and he recognizes mine as well. And because of that, we’re able to come together and just make it gel so, yeah,

Teddy Swims:You guys are making me nervous.

Christian Stroble:Honestly, I think he’s one of the rawest, truest talents that we’ve had in a long time. So I was psyched when he was like, “Yes, I want to work with you.” He just transcends from another space and time honestly, and so I wanted to elevate him to the next level within the wardrobe, but keeping it natural and cool and just feeling fresh.

Teddy Swims:My favorite part about performing live is this try to create a safe place for myself and other people to feel that we’re, you know, in the same room together. You know, honored to be doing the best job in the world, my best pal, so it’s the best ever you.

Jelly Roll performs “Liar” at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

“Liar” lyrics:

I, I let you drive around my mind

I can’t count the times you made me feel like I’m nothing

Played me like a fool, like a fool

Saying, “Drink another whiskey

Pop another pill

Money makes you happy

Heaven isn’t real

You won’t find nobody to love

Because your heart’s too broke”

Now I know

You ain’t nothin’ but a liar

Yeah, I walk right out the fire

Yeah, you try to keep me down

Try to put me underground

But I’m only going higher

I can hear you in my head

In my bed when I’m dreamin’

You try to be my friend

But you’re blowin’ smoke

Oh, and now, I ain’t scared of

Tellin’ you where you can go

‘Cause I know

You’re nothing but a liar

You burned me one too many times

Like a devil in disguise, hiding your true colors

Just leave me alone

Keep leading me on

Saying, “Drink another whiskey

Pop another pill

Money makes you happy

Heaven isn’t real

You won’t find nobody to love

Because your heart’s too broke”

Now I know

You ain’t nothin’ but a liar

Yeah, I walk right out the fire

Yeah, you try to keep me down

Try to put me underground

But I’m only going higher

I can hear you in my head

In my bed when I’m dreamin’

You try to be my friend

But you’re blowin’ smoke

Oh, and now, I ain’t scared of

Tellin’ you where you can go

‘Cause I know

You’re nothing but a liar

If I was doin’ what you do

Then you would swear I poisoned you

You’re nothing but a liar (liar)

Yeah, I walk right out the fire (fire)

Yeah, you try to keep me down

Try to put me underground

But I’m only going higher

I can hear you in my head

In my bed when I’m dreamin’

You try to be my friend

But you’re blowin’ smoke

Oh, and now, I ain’t scared of

Tellin’ you where you can go

‘Cause I know

You’re nothing but a liar
