The 2021 Billboard Music Awards kicked off with a fun-filled live performance by DJ Khaled, who was joined by H.E.R. and Migos to sing their hit We’re Going Crazy.
Unlike many of the performances over the past year and a half, the artists performed in front of actual fans outside of the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, in what was likely one of the largest live crowds in months.
Host Nick Jonas revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last week that there will be between 500 and 600 fans in attendance, who were treated to the performance by Khaled, H.E.R. and Migos first on Sunday afternoon.

The debut performance is one of the biggest with fans in attendance since the COVID-19 pandemic started last spring, with Jonas revealing to THR that he and the producers have taken every precaution to keep everyone safe.
‘I think as performers, we thrive on the interaction with the crowd and not having that for a year and a half has been tough,’ Jonas said.
The fans shown in the crowd for DJ Khaled, H.E.R. and Migos’ performance were all seen wearing masks though it’s unclear if the show required vaccinations or negative COVID-19 tests for fans.
