What’s up party people? It’s Tetris, and it’s pre-show time. The Billboard Music Awards are going down tonight, and we’re giving you a sneak peek at the hottest performers and some of the biggest finalists ahead of the show, starting with one of my faves, it’s k-pop sensation. My boys SEVENTEEN. I am so happy to be hanging out with you guys again. It’s been a long time, but you’re here for the Billboard Music Awards, and you guys took over the Santa Monica Pier. You guys are also doing SEVENTEEN THE CITY there, so how did that feel? 

SEVENTEEN:

About six months ago, I visited Santa Monica while traveling, and hearing that we’ll be performing in that same space is truly exciting. I feel like it’s going to be a unique experience. 

I mean, I know it’s gonna feel different for you. Mingyu, but Joshua, you’re basically the king of LA. You grew up walking these streets. So how was that for you as well?

SEVENTEEN:

I mean, Santa Monica in general, is like the place that I used to hang out the most with my friends, like on the weekend. So it means a lot that we’re gonna be able to perform there and to have a studio event at Santa Monica Pier.

Keep watching for more!

BBMAs Performer Shaboozey Talks Travel in Interview Presented by Marriott Bonvoy | Billboard

Billboard Music Awards performer ‪Shaboozey spoke about all things travel during an interview at W Hollywood. Don’t miss out on the Billboard Music Awards presented by ‪Marriott Bonvoy this Thursday, and stay tuned for more updates on this year’s show!

Shaboozey: 

Whenever I go to a new city on tour, I like to stop at the vintage stores. Go shopping. That’s my favorite thing to do, honestly: shopping and eating. Love to find the best food in the area, just trying to see what the city has to offer, you know? Look for dive bars, things like that. Play pool with my friends. Love a new city. That’s like my second home, but I love Nashville. I’ve made a lot of music videos and a lot of songs about Nashville. Just different people I meet, different places I go, different music I hear walking down Broadway or going east and getting a hot chicken sandwich. Nothing beats that. Yeah, it’s really cool. So much, so much culture there, so many friends. I love something that feels like somewhere I could actually live, you know? Living in a separate living room situation, in a bedroom situation. I love a view. Yeah, you can’t beat a view in a hotel room. I love a large room. I’m a large – I’m a big guy, you know, I need a lot of room to just stretch my legs out, you know, like that. See, that works. My dream location to visit: I want to check out Wyoming. I haven’t been to Wyoming yet. I would love to visit Wyoming, Jackson Hole, and I love open spaces. I mean, cities are fun, you know, I love seeing buildings, architecture, but nothing beats being in the open field and it’s quiet, and seeing mountains and watching wildlife. Places with good weather is always a plus.
