Multi-platinum star and current “Voice” coach KELLY CLARKSON will host NBC’s three-hour live telecast of the “2018 BILLBOARD Music Awards,” set for SUNDAY, MAY 20th at 8p (ET)/5p (PT) from MGM Grand Garden Arena in LAS VEGAS.

NBC ENTERTAINMENT Pres./Alternative and Reality Group PAUL TELEGDY said, “KELLY CLARKSON has long been a BILLBOARD chart phenomenon and has a first-hand understanding of what matters most in music today,” Telegdy said. “Her enthusiasm for all genres of music and her innate sense of humor will make for a truly memorable night.”

“To prepare me for hosting the ‘BILLBOARD Music Awards,’ I already have 20 costume changes planned,” CLARKSON said. “I will be flying in like my girl PINK!, and calling AMY SCHUMER and SARAH SILVERMAN for jokes. Well, or I’m just gonna show up and celebrate my favorite artists and get to know a few more. Yeah, maybe I’ll go with that plan.”

CLARKSON has sold more than 25 million albums and 36 million singles worldwide. She has placed 10 singles in the Top 10 and is the recipient of three GRAMMY AWARDS, four AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, three MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, two ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS and a CMA Award.
