Billboard Music Awards Shaping Up

The 2019 Billboard Music Awards will feature performances from Kelly Clarkson and Khalid, among others.

Billboard announced that Clarkson, 36, and Khalid, 21, will take the stage May 1st at the awards show in Las Vegas. Sam Smith, Normani, Panic! At the Disco and Lauren Daigle will also perform. Smith and Normani, who released the single “Dancing with a Stranger” in January, will perform together.

Clarkson will perform a new single at the ceremony. She will also host the awards show for the second year in a row. “I had so much fun hosting the Billboard Music Awards last year that I’m back for more,” she said. “We’re turning it up a notch this year and I can’t wait to celebrate all of my fellow amazing artists for another unforgettable night of live music.”

Smith and Panic! At the Disco are performing at the Billboard Music Awards for the first time. Panic! At the Disco is nominated for four awards, including Top Duo/Group and Top Rock Artist.

Billboard announced the full list of nominees last week. Ariana Grande and Cardi B are both up for Top Female Artist, while Drake and Travis Scott are among those nominated for Top Male Artist.
