The biggest names in music came together at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 1 for the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, and many of those in attendance were lucky enough to take home some major trophies! This year, Cardi B went into the show with the most nominations at 21, followed by Drake and Post Malone, who each had 17. Kelly Clarkson hosted the show for a second time, after making her emcee debut in 2018, and performers this year included Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Madonna, Halsey, and Ciara. Meanwhile, Paula Abdul performed a medley of her hits. And Mariah Carey received the Icon Award before taking the stage to commemorate the moment.
