The 2024 Billboard Music Awards brought a night of historic wins, genre-bending achievements, and dazzling performances. Among the highlights was Beyoncé’s groundbreaking win as Best Country Artist. Meanwhile, Drake’s chart-dominating album For All The Dogs took home the coveted award for Best Rap Album, further solidifying his legacy as one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.
Aired Thursday night, The 2024 Billboard Music Awards celebrated the songs, albums, and artists that shaped our year in music. With the eligibility period spanning October 28, 2023, to October 19, 2024, the ceremony offered a comprehensive snapshot of the year’s most impactful chart-toppers.
Taylor Swift’s Record-Breaking Triumph
Taylor Swift dominated the night, adding 10 new awards to her collection and cementing her status as the most-decorated artist in BBMA history. Swift’s milestone comes just ahead of her 35th birthday, marking yet another extraordinary chapter in her illustrious career.
Swift entered the night as one of the most nominated artists alongside country-rock star Zach Bryan. The “Tortured Poets Department” singer found himself in a familiar rivalry with Drake for the title of most all-time BBMA wins, both having tied at 39 awards last year. However, it was Swift who took center stage, solidifying her legacy with her sweeping victories.
First-Time Finalists Shine
The awards also spotlighted a host of first-time finalists, including pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, whose viral hit “Espresso” earned nominations for Top Billboard Global 200 Song and Top Billboard Global Song. Despite the buzz, Carpenter didn’t clinch any wins. Other rising stars such as Teddy Swims, Tyla, Benson Boone, Junior H, and Chappell Roan made their BBMA debut, reflecting the diverse and dynamic state of contemporary music.
Unforgettable Performances
The ceremony, hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, featured stellar performances that spanned genres and geographies. Highlights included:
- Coldplay delivering a heartfelt rendition of their chart-topping hit.
- Linkin Park thrilling fans with their high-energy set.
- Shaboozey and Megan Moroney bridging country and rap with their dynamic collaboration.
- Fuerza Regida showcasing the power of regional Mexican music.
- Stray Kids bringing K-pop fervor to the BBMAs stage.
