Las Vegas was the place to be this past weekend as music lovers fled to the long-awaited ‘Lovers & Friends’ Festival on Saturday and Sunday, then Sunday evening the festivities continued at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The annual soiree was executive produced and hosted by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs aka Brother Love, for his first time serving as a host for an award show.

The night saw some amazing performances from the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Bryson Tiller, Jack Harlow, Silk Sonic, Latto & more! One of the major highlights of the night was the surprise appearance by Janet Jackson (who was in town celebrating her birthday) as she presented Mary J. Blige with the Icon Award.
