2015 Billboard Awards – impressive presenter and performer lineup announced

This Monday 18th May is when the 2015 Billboard Music Awards take place, hosted live from the US and aired only on Foxtel’s Channel [V] from 8am (AWST).

The lineup of performers and presenters is impressive and includes Taylor Swift, Kanye West (yep, once at war and now sharing the same stage), Nicki Minaj, David Guetta, Mariah Carey, Wiz Kalifah, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, 50 Cent, Charli XCX, Rita Ora, Imagine Dragons, Simple Minds and more.

Nominees include the likes of Rihanna, Jason Derulo and Wiz Kalifa (pictured above), and Hozier, Nick Jonas and Sam Smith (below) along with a host of other chart-toppers and radio favourites of the past 12 months.

Supermodel Chrissy Teigen will host along with hip-hop artist and actor Ludacris, who returns to host for the second consecutive year.

Taylor Swift, a seven-time Grammy winner, will open the ceremony with the world premiere of her highly anticipated new music video for Bad Blood. The clip includes multiple starring roles played by a cast of Golden Globe winners, Emmy winners, Grammy winners, blockbuster movie stars, even an Oscar nominee – so plenty of star-spotting to be had, for sure.

There’ll be duet performances by Nicki Minaj featuring David Guetta, Wiz Khalifa with Charlie Puth & Lindsey Stirling, and a special tribute performance by Imagine Dragons, have been added to the line-up.  Antonino Tati
