Behind the scenes photos

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards aired Sunday night (Nov. 18) on BBMAs.watch and the BBMA social channels and Billboardfeaturing eight new musical performances, including acceptance speeches from some of the night’s top winners.

But beyond the show, what’s going on behind the scenes?

Now that you’ve seen the 2023 BBMAs, you can enjoy all the behind-the-scenes magic that goes into making these new shows.

We have photos from each of the shows, including Mariah Carey’s winter wonderland; Karol G’s water-soaked episode; Tate McRae’s “greed” gala; the colorful NewJeans display; the Featherweight boxing ring; the film set of Bebe Rexha and David Guetta; the medley of “S-Class” and “LALALALA” by Stray Kids; and Morgan Wallen’s stadium home run.

There are also behind-the-scenes photos of the artists and many moments not seen on Sunday’s broadcast.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, BBMA and Spotify Fans First have teamed up to recognize the fans who consumed the most hours of music in the past year and helped propel their favorite artists to the top of the charts. Billboard. These fans receive a “golden ticket” that gives them access to attend BBMA shows curated by their favorite artists. Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott’s travel and marketing program, is presenting at this year’s BBMAs. Other sponsors include Lexus, which surprised one lucky fan with a VIP treatment: a private ride in a luxury Lexus vehicle for a one-of-a-kind show.
