The Weeknd gets his Grammy revenge at the Billboard Music Awards

Call it the revenge of The Weeknd.

After being shut out of any Grammy nominations for his 2020 hit album “After Hours” — and the controversial fallout that has led to changes in the voting process at the Recording at the Academy — the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer sure did feel the love at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. And in addition to winning Top Artist and being the leading nominee at the BBMAs with 16 nods, the Weeknd — who has infamously boycotted the “corrupt” Grammys — not only showed up for the festivities outside at the Microsoft Theater but delivered his first performance since headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in February. (BTW: He wound up winning 10 total awards out of those 16 nominations.)
