Taylor Swift, SZA Lead Billboard Music Award Nominations

Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, SZA, The Weeknd, Drake and Zach Bryan are the top finalists at this year's Billboard Music Awards. Swift leads with appearances in 20 categories, including Top Hot 100 Song for her smash “Anti-Hero.” She already has the most BBMAs wins (29) of any female artist, and may surpass Drake for the most wins of all time (34) if she takes home at least five awards this year. Wallen and SZA follow with 17 entries each, while The Weeknd has 16. Drake and Bryan both have 14, followed by Luke Combs with 10 and 21 Savage, Metro Boomin and Miley Cyrus with nine each. The Billboard Music Awards are based on factors “determined by year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts.”
