Check out all the night's big winners at this year's star-studded BBMAs!
The 2023 Billboard Music Awards are kicking off Sunday, celebrating all the biggest hits and most celebrated artists of the year.
Going into Sunday's big show, Taylor Swift continued her record-setting year as a finalist in 20 categories, the most of any artist! She was already the most-decorated female BBMAs artist of all time, with 29 wins, but if she manages to score five more at this year's ceremony, she will surpass Drake as the winningest Billboard artist ever.
However, Drake was also up for 14 awards himself this year, alongside other top finalists like Morgan Wallen, SZA, The Weeknd and newcomer Zach Bryan. There were also a slew of first-time BBMA finalists including Bailey Zimmerman, Coi Leray, Fifty Fifty, Fuerza Regida, Grupo Frontera, Jelly Roll, Ice Spice, Metro Boomin, NewJeans, Peso Pluma, and Oliver Anthony Music.
This year's BBMAs also introduced nine new categories including Top Hot 100 Songwriter and Top Hot 100 Producer -- with Swift, Bryan, and Jack Antonoff nominated for both -- as well as Top Rock Duo/Group, Top Global K-Pop Artist, Top K-Pop Tour, Top K-Pop Album, Top Global K-Pop Song, Top Afrobeats Artist, and Top Afrobeats Song.
