You might be wondering why we’re not updating the site with tons of Billboard Music Awards red carpet photos, but there’s an explanation for that.

While elements of the awards show will be live, most of the moments appear to have been pre-taped and not all of the celebs will be in one place for the event.

Comedian Michelle Buteau is hosting the special and music stars like Taylor Swift, Drake, and Sabrina Carpenter are all up for plenty of awards.

The BBMAs honors the year’s biggest artists, albums, songs, producers and songwriters across multiple genres. The finalists are determined by year-end performance metrics on Billboard’s Year-End Charts, the music industry’s ultimate authority, which measures music consumption from the Billboard charts dated October 28, 2023 through October 19, 2024.
