Please, please, please give these musicians a round of applause.
The Billboard Music Awards kicked off on Dec. 12 in Los Angeles, and several artists won big during the ceremony, which was hosted by comedian Michelle Buteau.
So, who came out on top? To start the evening, Dua Lipa took home the trophy for Top Dance/Electronic Song for “Houdini," while Fuerza Regida won Top Duo/Group.
"This is so cool," Dua said in her pre-recorded acceptance video while on tour in Asia. "Thank you fro all the love and support and for dancing with me."
And the winners faced off against some steep competition this year. Sabrina Carpenter, Zach Bryan, Drake, Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen went up against each other in the Top Artist category, with Taylor ultimately taking the crown.

Shaboozey took the stage to sing his smash "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" at the W Hotel, in addition to fans seeing Stray Kids, Tyla, Coldplay and Jelly Roll stun with renditions of their recent hits.
For Shaboozey—who became the first Black man to simultaneously top Billboard's Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts with "A Bar Song" in July—being recognized at an award show like the BBMAs is a huge honor, though not his main priority when it comes to creating his art.
