In a new interview with Billboard’s Pop Shop Podcast, Nick Jonas is talking BBMAs, as he is set to host the 2021 Billboard Music Awards for the first time.  Back in 2019, the Jonas Brothers made their comeback, topped the Billboard charts for the first time in their career, and within that same year, returned to the Billboard Music Awards to perform a medley of  their hits.  “It was such a sort of landmark moment in the beginning of our reunion together and really our first big performance on an awards show stage,” Nick Jonas tells Billboard’s Pop Shop Podcast.

When asked ‘why the BBMAs are a big deal,’ Nick explained, “I think the Billboard Awards are special to an artist because it sort of encapsulates your chart achievement, and it’s always an artist’s dream to be on the Hot 100 or the Billboard 200. These are things that you dream about as a kid and you grow up — I did, at least — reading Billboard magazine and loving seeing the different artists that would make an impact. To have something to commemorate that is really incredible. I’ve always loved it and loved the energy at the show, and I think it’s going to be one of the most special ones, all things considered this year.”

Nick was also asked ‘how he’s preparing’ for the BBMAs, “It’s a very different show than it usually is out in Vegas and the whole ordeal. So I’ve been working really closely with the team on the show, who I’ve known for a long time, to make sure we bring something really unique and special to this year that will stand out, and using some of the limitations [due to COVID] as an opportunity to bring something really special to the fans at home. [And] just kind of physically making sure I’m all good — which I’m feeling great at the moment and recovering nicely,” he reveals.
