Billboard Music Awards 2020 | Nominations: Taylor Swift & More | Have It All Daily
- 4 years ago
The Billboard Music Awards are back! After a short COVID-related delay, the BBMAs rolled out the nominees for the 2020 extravaganza, so see which of your favorite artists scored a nomination!
Six months after the deadly COVID-19 pandemic forced the Billboard Music Awards to postpone its 2020 event, the music ceremony finally announced this year’s nominees on Sept. 22. While the show (now taking place on Oct. 14, live on NBC) will likely be done in front of no fans, the 2020 BBMAs still promise to celebrate the biggest and brightest stars in music. From Taylor Swift to Billie Eilish to the Jonas Brothers, this year’s BBMAs will, for better or worse, be one that no one forgets.
Of course, because it’s 2020, the nominee rollout was a little bit unusual. Instead of sharing the whole list at once, the BBMAs figured they would roll out the categories in spurts. First, the nominees in the Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album during the 8am hour of TODAY. Then, around 9am EST, the nominees for Top New Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Duo/Group, and Top Hot 100 Song would be shared over at Billboard.com. After that, all the remaining nominees and categories would be shared via the Billboard Music Awards Twitter account. Yes, it’s a bit extra, but after a six-month delay, the BBMAs can be excused for wanting to add a little pizzaz into the mix. Check out the nominees below, and keep checking back to see if your favorite band or singer scored a nomination.
