If the Grammys are music’s BIGGEST night, the Billboard Music Awards might be the most fun night in music, and this year’s awards are shaping up to be bigger than ever!

Cardi B leads the pack with a whopping 21 nominations, but Drake and Post Malone aren’t far behind with 17 each. In a groundbreaking moment, not only are BTS nominated for Top Social Artist in 2019 (they won the award in both 2017 and 2018), they’re also up for Top Duo/Group – the first time a K-pop group has scored a nod in a major category.

But anybody who watches awards shows knows… it’s not really about the awards. It’s about the performances. Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie were just announced as the show openers – they’ll perform their brand new duet, “Me!”. The Jonas brothers are reuniting onstage for their first awards show back together. Madonna is debuting her new song with Maluma, “Medellin”, and Halsey will take the stage both with BTS and solo. Plus we’ll see live performances from Ciara, Dan + Shay, Panic! At The Disco, Khalid, and Icon Award honoree Mariah Carey. Not to mention Kelly Clarkson, who’s performing and hosting again this year.

The 2019 Billboard Music awards air live from Las Vegas Wednesday, May 1st at 8pm on NBC. Check out nominees in the biggest categories in the video above, and listen to a special station in honor of the awards – The Twenty: BBMAs is live now!
