Review the 2022 Billboard Music Awards Performances: Watch Megan Thee Stallion, Burna Boy, Rauw Alejandro & More
From Megan Thee Stallion to Becky G to Machine Gun Kelly and beyond, revisit performances from the 2022 Billboard Music Awards
The 2022 Billboard Music Awards nominations list displayed a notable array of diversity — and naturally, the performance roster followed suit.

The big night was momentous in multiple ways: Rapper Travis Scott made his first televised appearance since the Astroworld tragedy; neosoul great Maxwell rang in the 40th anniversary of Michael Jackson's Thriller; Mary J. Blige accepted the 2022 Billboard Icon Award from Janet Jackson.
Rewatch some performances from the 2022 Billboard Music Awards below:
