The 2018 Billboard Music Awards is taking place soon and just about everyone is ready to see what celebs will dazzle the red carpet and who will take home the most awards this year.
Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran are all nominated for 15 Billboard Music Awards this year and all three artists will compete against Drake, who had nine total nominations and Taylor Swift, who was nominated for five this year.
It should be interesting to see who wins the Top Female Artist award this year, as Taylor Swift and Cardi B are both nominated in the same category.
Music legend Janet Jackson will be honored with the Icon Award at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. According to Billboard, Jackson has had more than 100 No. 1 hit songs on the Billboard charts through her career and is one of only four artists to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in each of the last four decades. Needless to say, Ms. Jackson has a lot of hits under her belt and is well deserving of this award.
Singer and “The Voice” coach Kelly Clarkson will be the host this year at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
