The 2020 Billboard Music Awards were held on 14^th October, 2020 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Kelly Clarkson hosted for a third year in a row. The show was originally scheduled for 29^th April, but was later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Despite not having an audience Clarkson still brought dynamic energy to the stage."Tonight is about the way music touches us all because music connects with us in so many ways, no matter who you are it moves us sometimes literally," Clarkson said.

Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish led with the most nominations. Eilish took home multiple awards including Top Female Artist. The most coveted award of the night, Top Artist, went to Post Malone.

Numerous artists performed throughout the show, including John Legend, Alicia Keys Brandy, En Vogue, BTS and Luke Combs.
