Billboard Music Awards 2015: Watch The Performances
With dolled-up superstars and giddy newcomers getting ready to walk down the red carpet at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, the first performance of the night is only a matter of hours away. And it should be epic given the eclectic list of performers on the bill. All eyes will be on Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea as they perform new single “Pretty Girls” for the first time, while Mariah Carey will return for the first time in decades to belt out “Infinity.”
Other performers at the event include Kanye West (no idea what he’s going to perform — could it be “Only One” or the Vic Mensa-assisted “Wolves” or something new entirely?) Nicki Minaj (she’s rapping a mash-up of “The Night Is Still Young” and “Hey Mama”) and Imagine Dragons. Check back throughout the night to see videos of the stars in action as they surface online. Sam Smith and Taylor Swift lead the nominations with 13 each.
