Si sono tenuti questa notte i Billboard Music Awards, serata organizzata dalla celebre rivista musicale Billboard in cui vengono premiati gli artisti che ci hanno allietato con la loro musica nel corso dell’anno e possiamo assistere a performance musicali da parte sia di interpreti figli di questa generazione musicale che di vere icone del settore. Quest’anno, a condurre lo show abbiamo trovato Ciara e Ludacris, entrambi artisti di grande talento e molto noti specialmente al pubblico americano.
Quest’anno, il re assoluto delle nomination è stato The Weeknd, che ha ricevuto ben 20 nomine fra le varie categorie. Molto bene anche Adele, Justin Bieber e Taylor Swift, gli artisti che hanno dominato d’annata a livello commerciale insomma. Ma diamo adesso un’occhiata alla lista dei premiati.
Molto variegata, come vi dicevamo, la lista dei performer! Vi postiamo di seguito le varie esibizione eseguite durante la serata, qual è stata la vostra preferita?
