Pe 1 mai, la Las Vegas, a avut loc mult asteptata gala a decernarii Premiilor Billboard 2019. Dincolo de recordurile stabilite de unii artisti ca numar al trofeelor, asa cum era de asteptat evenimentul a prilejuit si un adevarat spectacol de moda pe covorul rosu.
La gala prezentata de cantareata Kelly Clarkson, au facut show pe scena Taylor Swift, cu cel mai nou single, „ME!” cu Brendon Urie de la Panic! at the Disco, grupul k-pop BTS, Paul Abdul, Jonas Brothers, Ariana Grande si Khalid.
Momente memorabile si recorduri
Momentul memorabil al serii a fost creat de Madonna care, la 60 de ani a urcat pe scena alaturi de Maluma, pentru a interpreta cel mai nou single, „Medellin”, care va face parte de pe albumul „Madame X” ce va fi lansat pe 14 iunie. Intruchipand o dominatrix combinata cu pirat, show-ul Madonnei a fost completat de proiectii si imagini generate de computer.
Drake a stabilit un record cu 12 trofee, avand in total 27 de premii Billboard. Cantareata R&B Cardi B a primit sase, iar trupa Maroon 5, patru.
Mariah Carey a primit Icon Award, pentru intreaga activitate, iar intre cei care au inmanat trofee s-au numarat Eva Longoria, Florida Georgia Line, Jennifer Hudson, Jesse Spencer, Julia Michaels, Julianne Hough, Kane Brown si Olivia Wilde.
Spectacol de moda
Covorul rosu a fost intesat de vedete de calibru, cu aparitii spectaculoase, printre care s-au numarat Taylor Swift, Halsey, Mariah Carey, Pryianka Chopra si Sophie Turner, aceasta din urma intr-o spectaculoasa salopeta cu reflexe metalice si flori brodate aplicate, din ultima colectie Louis Vuiton.
