I’m not sure if I have ever watched the Billboard Music Awards before, but I’m here for it this year. I’m so excited for all the performances and everything else. Let’s go!

1. That’s a lot of white band uniforms.

2. Is this what the music video is like. I don’t think so. I need to watch it.

3. This is kind of Beyonce vibes.

4. Taylor Swift’s hair could look better

5. But her shoes are killer

6. He came in on an umbrella. Is he Mary Poppins?

7. His shoes are good too!

8. Oh she has pink in her hair, that’s cute.

10. Swiftie for life

11. This Vegas is fun, Welcome Part is weird.

12. This whole set is very springy and fun.

13. MORE UMBRELLAS

14. That’s a lot of confetti

15. How did this duet come to be

16. Are they sitting on folding chairs? What is that shiz?

17. Who is this security guard? Hey hottie

18. I don’t like Kelly’s black tights

19. Her voice is incredible though

20. I love this song, Girls Like You. Where’s Cardi?

21. Cardi’s outfit is giving me major Cher vibes

22. Okkkkk, Kelly with the rap

23. Why did they show the prompter?

24. Are they really serving tequila?

25. It cracks me up that all the celebrities film it on their phones like it isn’t airing live right now.

26. I’m so excited for Booksmart the movie

27. I know who all the R&B nominees are! I surprised myself.

28. The award is cool! I want a microphone shaped award. If only I could sing

29. Kelly didn’t change her outfit. That’s surprising. Most hosts change 1089324 times.

30. How does Halsey sing so well laying on the floor? How does she get breath support?

31. This performance looks cool on camera, but how does it look in person?

32. Where are these hands coming from?

33. I dooooon’t like these outfits.

34. This dance is powerful.

35. I wonder how long they practiced for this.

36. Halsey just fell and scrapped her back up super bad because she was rock climbing naked. You can’t see any of her scratches. That’s some good makeup.

37. Oh my gosh. I can’t decide who I want to win the Rock Category.

38. Imagine Dragons won???? WOOOW. That is not what I was expecting.

39. Yes! Use this platform. How are there 34 states that still have no laws banning conversion therapy???? Protect the LGBTQ youth!!

40. Now Kelly changed. This look is not better though.

42. CIARA! THIS LOOK IS A VIIIIIIIBE. It’s like Michael and Paula mixed into one. DAMMMMNNNNN.

44. Who is that little baby on that guy’s shoulders!? Is that Ciara’s son? He’s a cutie!!

45. Shut. It. Down.

46. Taylor is all of us. TWERK CIARA.

47. OMG her backup dancers are amazing

48. I don’t get all the hyper over BTS. Meh.

49. Cardi B is nominated for 21 awards tonight. That’s impressive.

50. Who is this guy coming on stage with Drake?

51. Remember when Madonna kissed Drake and he made the worst face after. I wonder if it’ll be awkward between them tonight.

52. Wow Drake, with the Game of Thrones spoilers.

53. Is Kelly only going to wear black tonight?

55. Love Tori Kelly’s vibe tonight. She’s just so chill.

56. Yes, Kane Brown! Sing it in the audience.

57. I love this song.

58. Sophie Turner looks like she’s wearing a spacesuit

59. Why would you make your stage name “Lil Baby”?

60. I kept thinking he was trying to put this other arm in the sleeve. But no, that’s his look. Ok then…

61. IT’S TIME FOR THE JONAS BROTHERS!

62. I hope they sing Year 3000. It’s my favorite.

63. Feeling these sparkles, bros.

64. Oh the dancers came out of the audience. That’s fun.

65. AWWWWW Priyanka!!

66. Where is Kevin?

71. They didn’t sing Year 3000.

72. I NEED TO CATCH UP ON THIS IS US. Please no spoilers!

73. Chrissy Metz, your looks are just never flattering.

74. If BTS doesn’t win, I hope someone comes on stage and has a Kanye moment.

75. I’m not at all shocked they won and I don’t even like them. Why are they shocked?

76. Why do they have the host introduce the presenters who introduce the performer???

77. Her nips are about to come out.

78. Quit showing Taylor Swift’s awkward wanna be sexual moves.

79. Cardi B changed her outfit.

80. Justin Hartley is standing there very awkwardly still.

81. Mariah Carey is getting the big award, but is she even here? They keep showing Jennifer Hudson, who is presenting her with the award, but I am yet to see Mariah.

82. Why was Drake backstage?

83. Does he have a bottle of champagne in his hand?

84. Every time they pan to the audience it just looks like they are sitting in a high school gym because of the folding chairs.

86. The audience is getting it

87. The dance moves. MAMI

88. Did she say Vancouver? Is she somewhere else? Is that why Ashley Graham introduced her like that?

89. WTF was she doing with Pete Davidson? Girl is a dime and then some.

90. Who is that lady rubbing that random guy’s head behind Kelly Clarkson?

91. Why the eye patch though Madonna?

92. Also, how old are you?

94. Not impressed with this song or performance.

95. This is weird.

96. Yes! Lauren Daigle! I watched her YouTube videos allllll the time. Then she was on Jimmy Fallon.

104. I wonder what Cardi is like when she first wakes up in the morning? Is she always on like that?

105. Loving Jennifer Hudson’s look.

106. I don’t like Mariah’s diva attitude or the Mimi persona, but the lady can saaaang

107. That’s true, you can’t have Christmas without Mariah’s All I Want for Christmas is You

108. How old is Mariah Carey?

109. Are those her kids?

110. I forgot her and Nick Cannon were married for a minute.

111. You’ll always be my babyyyyy

112. Take us to church, Mariah!

113. She has not moved her body once. That’s intense. Can she breathe in that dress?

114. WE BELONG TOGETHER BABYYYYYY

115. Can she hear? She keeps messing with her earpiece.

116. MAN! I do love her songs! They are some power car karaoke songs.

117. Her daughter holding up her VIP pass. So cute.

118. Is Taylor Swift crying?

119. Do you have a plastic coat on, sir?

120. I thought Jennifer Hudson had shorts on this whole time. It’s pants.

125. She wrote every song too?!?!

126. Julianne Hough, looking good!

127. I love all of these Country Nominee Songs.

128. Where is Bebe?

136. This song is good. I’m excited to see the Ugly Dolls Movie

137. All these cute kids with such a good message!

138. Aw, Chrissy Metz is crying. Probably hits super home for her, based on her memoir,

139. Yay! Panic! At the Disco!

140. I. Don’t. Get. The. BTS. Obsession.

141. I like Halsey though.

142. I like that she matches them.

143. It’s weird that they have a top 200 category and a top 100 category.

144. Third outfit by Cardi B. Still giving some Cher vibes.

146. Drake was the one I least wanted to win. But oookkk.
