The special will be available to stream on-demand on Fire TV Channels and next day on Hulu.

The BBMAs honors the year’s biggest artists, albums, songs, producers and songwriters across multiple genres, as determined by year-end performance metrics on Billboard’s Year-End Charts, the music industry’s ultimate authority and data-driven measure of success, which measures music consumption from the Billboard charts dated October 28, 2023 through October 19, 2024.

In Swift’s acceptance speech she said, “It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I have made…this is the nicest early birthday present you could have given me…it’s exactly what I wanted.”
• It was also a big night for Zach Bryan with five wins including “Top Country Album;” Morgan Wallen with four wins including “Top Country Artist;” and first-time finalist Shaboozey shared the three-win spotlight with Bad Bunny, who extended his historic reign as the all-time leader for “Top Latin Artist.” Drake’s three wins solidified his position as the second-most awarded artist in show history with 42 career wins.
