The Billboard Music Awards 2019 will be one to remember for a long time!
The 26th annual Billboard Music Awards 2019 took place Wednesday, May 2nd, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. We witnessed some amazing live performances from Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie with their latest single “ME!,” Jonas Brothers delivering a medley of “Jealous,” “Cake By The Ocean” and “Sucker,” Halsey performing her hit single “Without Me,” and more.
As much as we would like to state that the live performances were the highlights from the awards ceremony, the Toronto native rapper-Drake stole the night. He renewed the record of snagging 12 awards in one night, a record previously held by Adele in 2012. Drake won the coveted categoris such as ‘Top Artist,’ ‘Top Rap Song,’ ‘Top Male Artist,’ ‘Top Billboard 200 Album,’ ‘Top Billboard 200 Artist,’ ‘Top 100 Artist’ and the list goes on…
Cardi B managed to grab 6 awards including ‘Top Rap Female Artist,’ and shared other awards with Maroon 5 for their collaboration “Girls Like You.”
Take a look at all the nominees and winners at Billboard Music Awards 2019 below.
