This year’s BBMAs showcased flawless performances, heartfelt speeches,
AND some surprisingly emotional moments.
Host of the evening Kelly Clarkson introduced the show with a powerful message honoring the victims of the recent Texas school shooting.
While the producers of the show wanted her to hold a moment of silence, Kelly opted to hold a moment of ACTION. She fought back tears while encouraging everyone watching the show to do something about the issue of gun violence in their communities. It was the first of many incredibly moving moments throughout the show.
After the break, Kelly took to the stage to open the show by performing an impressive and delightful medley of songs by all of the show’s nominated artists, from Kendrick Lamar to Taylor Swift. And since the award show took place at the MGM in Las Vegas, Kelly had a variety of Vegas show performers in lieu of regular backup dancers for the super fun set.
Another highlight of the show we did NOT see coming was Taylor Swift’s attendance! Not only was Taylor present at the show, she also took home 2 awards throughout the night -- one for Top Female Artist, and the other for Top Selling Album for Reputation.
Considering Taylor has completely opted out of awards shows for a couple years now, it was inspiring to see her reclaim her rightful place amongst her peers. .................................
