Billboard Music Awards held Sunday night 1st May 2019 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event was hosted by Kelly Clarkson and it was a night to remember with Taylor Swift opening the show  with a presentation many are saying is a rip off of Beyonce’s. Mariah Carey also performed a medley of her greatest hits during the middle of the televised ceremony, and Paula Abdul closed out the awards which proved to be a truly star-studded night. Mariah Carey was honored with a much deserved Icon Award that got us saying, finally Billboard Music Awards, finally!

Kelly Clarkson later  revealed that Drake had become the most decorated artist in the history of the Billboard Music Awards adding 12 wins on the night to bring his career total to 27 awards. Cardi B’s Billboard Music Awards total on the night also bumped to six.
