Taylor Swift opens Billboard awards with eye-popping performance

A marching band kicked off Swift's performance -- like most of the world, maybe Swift was inspired by Beyonce's new Coachella film? Dancers also spun in the air holding umbrellas. Kelly Clarkson is hosting the show for a second time -- and sang a medley of hits following Swift's performance, from Cardi B's "I Like It" to "Boo'd Up" by Ella Mai, who won the first award of the evening, top R&B artist.
Rap music, which dominated the charts and streaming services last year, owned the top Billboard album category. Along with Cardi B, the nominees include Drake's "Scorpion," Scott's "ASTROWORLD," the late XXXTentacion's "?" and Malone's "beerbongs & bentleys."
