Among the biggest winners at Sunday night's 2023 Billboard Music Awards were Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen.

With an astounding 20 nominations, Swift was the finalist (as the BMAs refer to their candidates) in the most categories going into the evening. She won ten accolades in all, including the coveted trophies for top female artist, top artist, and top Billboard 200 artist.

This year's ceremony will now air on the official social media accounts and website of the awards show, rather than its former home on NBC. Originally scheduled for May, the concert was shifted to November to take over for the American Music Awards.

Other noteworthy victors included Zach Bryan (four), Bad Bunny (three), Beyoncé, and Miley Cyrus (five).

Dick Clark Productions presents the Billboard Music Awards.
