Kelly Clarkson is hosting the Billboard Music Awards for the second year in a row and this Thursday, she’ll be announcing the nominations live on NBC’s Today show.
Joining Kelly for the announcements will be country duo Dan + Shay, whose song “Tequila” has crossed over to the pop charts. The trio will announce the nods in five categories in the 8 a.m. hour, and the rest will be rolled out on the Billboard Music Awards’ social feeds.
Kelly and Dan + Shay are friends and duet partners: They’re teaming up this Sunday night at the Academy of Country Music Awards to perform their collaboration “Keeping Score,” which appears on the duo’s current album. They’re also nominated for Music Event of the Year at the ceremony for that same song.
The Billboard Music Awards will air live from Las Vegas May 1 on NBC.
