You've seen them top the charts. Now, it's time to see which artists will secure the no. 1 spot in their categories at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.
Sean "Diddy" Combs hosted the big event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 15. The Weeknd entered the night with the most nominations—a grand total of 17—followed by Doja Cat with 14 nods and Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Olivia Rodrigo with 13 apiece. The "drivers license" singer received several honors, including the coveted top new artist award. Other winners included Ye, Drake, Doja Cat and Taylor Swift.
In addition, Mary J. Blige received the Icon Award, and Mari Copeny was honored with the Changemaker Award.
But the trophies weren't the only exciting part of the night. There was also fierce red carpet fashion and the star-studded list of performers. Megan Thee Stallion, Silk Sonic, Becky G, Ed Sheeran, Elle King, Miranda Lambert, Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Scott (who only recently returned to the stage following the Astroworld tragedy in November) were among the many musicians who rocked out.
Many winners were announced hours before the ceremony in a TikTok live stream. See the list below.
