Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift were the two most BBMA-winning artists of 2023. Wallen won 11 awards, and Swift had one less. Karol G was giving a second-rate performance at the Billboard Music Awards as the 2023 awards ceremony began. She won Top Latin Female Artist and Top Latin Touring Artist and opened the show with her hit songs. This, right after winning at the Latin Grammys. She told her fans in her acceptance speech, “I have to say I’m a little more nervous than usual… but this is the first time I’ve accepted an award so close to all of you.”
Taylor Swift won 10 BBMAs, including Top Artist. “Well, this is unrealistic,” she said in a video. The fact that you guys have given me ten Billboard awards, I’m talking specifically to the fans, none of this would have happened without you. Everything Billboard does is based on what you’re listening to, and what you’re interested in, and I’m so honored that you made this tour, the Era Tour, so magical this year. You went and saw the movie, you cared about my recordings. I’m just like, I love you so much. “I think I’m the luckiest person in the world to have you and care about the music I make.” Other artists to win big at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards include Drake, SZA, Newgins, and Zach Bryan. Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ also got their flowers.
