The 2021 Billboard Music Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night (May 23), and there was no shortage of memorable moments.
From BTS‘ debut “Butter” performance and Icon Award recipient P!nk‘s aerial choreography with her daughter Willow, to The Weeknd‘s sneaky new music tease and Drake‘s son Adonis making an appearance during the rapper’s Artist of the Decade acceptance speech — Twitter went wild with reactions.
We’ve compiled our favorite tweets and memes from throughout the night. See them below.
