BBMAs 2018: Winners List
The 2018 Billboard Music Awards are jam-packed with talented nominees, but as you know, only one artist/group can take home a BBMA award per category.
One of the most exciting moments of the awards show came early when Taylor Swift made a surprise Red Carpet appearance.
Another highlight was seeing the host of the show, Kelly Clarkson, walk the red carpet in a sultry black dress with a slit.
Apart from the awards, everyone looked forward to the amazing performances at the event.
With performances by Kelly Clarkson, Salt-N-Pepa, JLo, Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera/Demi Lovato, Janet Jackson, and more, the 2018 Billboard Music Awards were definitely epic.
