Billboard Music Awards 2024: Complete winners list, including Taylor Swift's historic night
Now that our Spotifys have been unwrapped, the 2024 Billboard Music Awards have uncloaked our collective listening moods.
The BBMAs, which aired Thursday night, highlighted the songs, albums and artists that dominated the charts and filled the airwaves throughout the year.
Heading into the ceremony, country rocker Zach Bryan and pop superstar Taylor Swift led the pack with the most nominations. "The Tortured Poets Department" singer also faced off once more with rap star Drake to compete for the most all-time BBMA wins; the two tied last year with a career total of 39 awards.
Swift emerged victorious on the eve of her 35th birthday, winning 10 shiny new trophies that earned her the status of the BBMAs' most-decorated artist in the show's history.
The award show also featured a slew of first-time finalists who received their musical flowers. Pop star Sabrina Carpenter was up for Top Hot 100 Artist and top streaming songs artist, and her viral single "Espresso" was up for Top Billboard Global 200 song and Top Billboard global song. Unfortunately, she was beat out in each of the categories.
