The music industry again put on a show worth remembering, as the 2018 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last night made us laugh, smile, jump for joy, and gave us a moment of sadness – all in one live broadcast. Janet Jackson was honored with the Board’s highest honor, an Icon award, and as she performed it was easy to remember just how many hits she did have in her career. Ed and Taylor were the night’s biggest winners, but the moment to hold on to was Kelly Clarkson’s heartfelt tribute to the Santa Fe TX school shooting victims, another mass shooting that left 10 dead.
