A Look At All The Performers, Ready To Conquer The Stage
1. BTS is all set to take the stage on this wonderful evening and there’s no doubt that they’ll be performing their first No. 1 claim on the Hot 100, ‘Dynamite’.
2. Demi Lovato made her monumental comeback to the music scene this year, offering up a string of self-love anthems like, ‘I Love Me,’ ‘I’m Ready,’ ‘Okay Not To Be Okay’ and more. So, we can expect her to take one of these gems to the stage.
3. What’s an award ceremony without a stunning performance from Alicia Keys, eh? The star released her seventh self-titled studio album in September, so we will possibly see her perform one of the tracks off this buzzing record.
4. Bad Bunny has scored some brilliant collaborations this year, with artists like J Balvin, Maluma, The Black Eyed Peas, Dua Lipa and more. So, with him being catapulted to superstardom, there’s no way he’d be left out from the BMAs performers list.
5. For starters, Post Malone is leading the BMAs nominee list with a whopping 16 nods. And him joining the performers list, is definitely the cherry on this cake.
6. With both Sia and BTS on the performers list, here’s hoping that both acts take the stage to perform their scorching collaboration, ‘ON’ from BTS’ latest album, “Map of the Soul:7”.
7. The stellar country musician, Luke Combs is all set to take the stage. The star’s also scored nominations in the Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist, Top Country Album and Billboard Chart Achievement Award categories.
8. The prolific Garth Brooks is set to receive the Icon Award at the BMAs and has also occupied a spot on the steadily growing performers list.
9. Kelly Clarkson is all set to take the stage as host and performer. She will open the show with a rendition of Whitney Houston’s smash hit, ‘Higher Love’ in league with Pentatonix and Sheila E.
10. John Legend will take the mic for ‘Never Break’ off his latest, romantic effort, “Bigger Love”.
11. The American singer-songwriter Brandy, will be taking the stage with hit rapper, Ty Dolla $ign, possibly for a live rendition of their 2015 track, ‘LA’.
12. The iconic stars of En Vogue, the American R&B/pop vocal group, will also be conquering the stage. What gems they’ll pick from their impressive body of work though, is still a mystery.
13. The hit American rapper, Saint Jhn, best known for his 2016 single, ‘Roses’ will also be taking the stage for the Billboard Music Awards.
14. Kane Brown, Swae Lee and Khalid will join forces for their chart-topping hit ‘Be Like That’.
15. What’s an award show without the one, the only, Doja Cat? The star earned her very first No. 1 claim on the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Say So,’ so there’s a high chance she’ll take this track to the stage.
Stay tuned for more updates on the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.
