The Billboard Music Awards returned to their Las Vegas home at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday for the first time in three years. Hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs, the awards show saw major wins for Olivia Rodrigo and Ye, along with performances by two of the past year’s most controversial artists, Travis Scott and Morgan Wallen.

The top winners of the night were Olivia Rodrigo, who took home seven awards, including Top New Artist and Top Female Artist and Drake, who won five Top Artist and Rap Album. With those wins, Drake continues to build his record for the most Billboard Awards won by a single artist with 34 wins all-time. Ye, meanwhile, cleaned up the Christian and Gospel categories with his latest album “Donda” and its top single, “Hurricane.”

The BBMAs showcased stellar performances from this year’s Icon Award honoree Mary J. Blige, the Grammy-winning R&B duo Silk Sonic (who took home the awards for Top R&B Song for “Leave the Door Open”) and Ed Sheeran, who took to the stage halfway across the world from Belfast, where he is currently on tour.

The show was also noteworthy for having the first televised performance by rapper Travis Scott since the deadly crowd crush at his Astroworld festival in Houston last November. And not only a performance by Morgan Wallen — who had been dropped from his recording contract and forced to cancel a tour early last year after using the N-word while partying in Nashville — but he also won for Top Country Male Artist.

Mari Copeny, the 14-year-old best known as environmental justice activist Little Miss Flint, was also honored with the third annual Billboard Change Maker Award.
