Chris Willman Music WriterThe Weeknd may have kept his music out of contention for the recent Grammys, but there’s no shortage of him being name-checked on the just-released list of candidates for the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, where he leads with 17 nominations — three more than the nearest runner-up, Doja Cat, who has 14.There’s a three-way tie for third place among contenders, with Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Bieber and Kanye West all having 13 as a possibly lucky number.Another top artist who recused himself from Grammy consideration, Drake, has 11 nominations going into the ceremony, followed by Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa with nine, the Kid Laroi with eight, and BTS, Taylor Swift and Giveon with seven each. If 13 for any reason should seem like a high number for West, there’s a peculiar reason for that.

Glamour's of the night on the 2022 Grammys red carpet, but there was one detail we still need to talk about.On April 3, the rapper stepped out in her first look of the evening, wearing a blue Atelier Versace gown with a corset-style bodysuit under a layer of sparkling sheer fabric. “The color is absolutely stunning, and the gown was the perfect mix of elegance and sexy,” Glamour's west coast editor Jessica Radloff . While this was far from the only of the evening, Doja committed to the bit with one accessory.

Doja Cat and SZA won the Best Pop Duo Performance Award at the 2022 Grammys. They beat out "Butter" by BTS, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga, ("I Get a Kick Out of You"), Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco ("Lonely"), and BTS ("Butter"), but if there were any hard feelings in the room, they evaporated when Doja and SZA took the stage to accept the prize.

GRAMMYs seemed to be full of surprises when it came to some of the night's big winners. At least, a few victories seemed to take the actual winners by surprise.Before Jon Batiste won Album of the Year and reacted with absolute shock and confusion, it was Doja Cat who was apparently caught off-guard when she and SZA won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, for their song «Kiss Me More.»SZA surprised everyone by managing to get up the GRAMMY stage safely despite walking with crutches and incredibly high heels — and got a sweet assist with her super long train from Lady Gaga.By the time she got up there, Doja Cat was just rushing over from the back of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and SZA laughingly joked, «Girl, you went to the bathroom for like five minutes, are you serious?”As it turns out, Doja Cat had taken the first chance she got to use the bathroom, and it just so happened to be when her category was about to be announced.»Listen, I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life," Doja Cat said, still trying to catch her breath, as the audience exploded with laughter.

Doja Cat praised SZA at the Grammys 2022 tonight (April 3) as the pair collected an award for their collaboration ‘Kiss Me More’.The 2021 single won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and was nominated alongside the likes of BTS, Coldplay, Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco, and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.Doja Cat was in the bathroom when the award was announced, with SZA taking to the stage first to accept the award. As her collaborator joined her moments later, she joked: “Bro, you were in the bathroom for five minutes, are you serious?”Addressing the audience, Doja said: “I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life. Thank you everybody.

Doja Cat nearly missed accepting her 2022 Grammy Award, making it back right on time to receive the statue for the Best Pop Duo/ Group Performance for “Kiss Me More.”“I’ve never taken such a fast p— in my whole life,” Doja Cat said between heaving breaths, after sprinting to the stage in heels.She urged her co-creator on the track SZA, who limped to the stage on crutches and received a much needed gown assist from Lady Gaga, “to say something, give them something,” before handing over the microphone.The 32-year-old “Good Days” singer, who is up for Best R&B Song for the track joked “I am glad you made it back in time,” after thanking her family and God.“I like to downplay s–t,” Doja Cat, 26, said as she began to tear up, overcome with emotions. “But this? It’s a big deal.”“Thank you everybody,” the “Woman” singer continued before stepping off the stage in grateful shock.
