Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift were the two most BBMA-winning artist of 2023. Wallen won 11 awards, and Swift one less. Karol G was double-fisting Billboard Music Awards almost as soon as the 2023 awards ceremony began. She won Top Latin Female Artist and Top Latin Touring Artist and opened the show with a medley of her hits. This, right after winning at the Latin Grammys. “I have to say that I’m a little more nervous than usual … but it’s the first time I have accepted an award this close to you all,” she said to her fans in her acceptance speech.

Taylor Swift won 10 BBMA’s, including Top Artist. “Well, this is unreal,” she said in a video. This is the fact, that you guys have given me ten Billboard Awards, I’m talking to the fans specifically, none of this happens without you. Billboards base everything off of what you are listening to, and what you’re passionate about and I’m so honored that this year you made the tour, the era’s tour, so magical. You went and saw the movie, you cared about my recordings. I just like, 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.” Other artists to win big at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards included Drake, SZA, NewJeans, and Zach Bryan. “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus also got its flowers.
