2021 Billboard Music Awards In Photos
The Billboard Music Awards are back and better than ever! For 2021, the BBMAs are pulling out all the stops: an electric red carpet, an explosive lineup of performances, and all your favorite stars from Taylor Swift to The Weeknd will be in the house to see if they walk away with a big award.
Hosted by Nick Jonas, the live show coming from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, promises to be an exciting night for everyone, include The Weeknd, who leads the pack with 16 nominations (take that, Grammys!) But he has some stiff competition from his competitors like Pop Smoke and Drake, who may add to his very large collection of awards after being nominated 7 more times this year. He’ll at least walk away with one award: Artist Of The Decade, since he is the most decorated winner of all-time! Plus, Pink, seen here with her kids Willow and Jameson, will be honored with the Icon Awards
