Reuters: It was a night of A-list performances at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Wednesday (May 1).

Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift performed her cheerful pop duet “ME!” on a pastel-coloured stage with Brendon Urie, the lead singer of Panic! at the Disco.

Pop superstar Madonna took to the stage in fishnet stockings and an eyepatch for a performance of “Medellin” with Colombian singer Maluma.

South Korean boy band BTS were the fan favourites of the night, performing “Boy with Luv” with U.S. pop singer Halsey, to a chorus of screams and cheers from the audience.

Mariah Carey, who was awarded the Billboard Icon Award, performed a medley of her classic hits. Her 8-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe were in the audience to cheer their mom on.
