Morgan Wallen led all 2023 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) nominees with 11 wins and Taylor Swift, who was on tour and unable to attend, took home 10 trophies. Swift’s 10 wins ties her with Drake as the artist with the most BBMAs wins in history, with both artists currently standing at 39 wins each.
“The fact that you guys have given me 10 Billboard Awards… I’m talking to the fans specifically, none of this happens without you. Billboard base(s) everything off of what you are listening to and what you are passionate about, and I am so honored that this year you made ‘The Eras Tour’ so magical. You went and saw the movie, you cared about my re-recordings…I love you so much, I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have you in my corner and caring about the music that I make, so thank you, thank you, thank you, 10 million times,” said Swift.
Other big winners included Drake with five, SZA and Zach Bryan with four, and 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus, and Beyoncé with three. Fuerza Regida, KAROL G, and The Weeknd each earned two.
The 2023 Billboard Music Awards winners were announced on November 19, 2023 and streamed live on BBMAs.watch. Performers included Mariah Carey singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” KAROL G singing medleys of her hits, and Bebe Rexha performing “I’m Good (Blue)” and “One in a Million.”
