Presented by Kelly Clarkson, this year's Billboard Music Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, a lavish venue for the caliber of interpreters on the deck. Along with Carey and Clarkson, the Wednesday ceremony featured shows from BTS, Ciara, Dan + Shay, Halsey, the Jonas Brothers, Khalid, Madonna, Maluma, Lauren Daigle, Panic! At the disco, Paula Abdul, Taylor Swift and Tori Kelly. We also had a taste of Ariana Grande's "7 Rings", but it was simply a prerecorded performance of her Sweetener World Tour.
