Twenty-five years since she won her first Billboard Music Award, Brandy hit the stage at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.
Backed by music director Adam Blackstone, the R&B icon delivered a spellbinding medley of old and new hits during Wednesday’s show at L.A.’s Dolby Theatre, starting with “Borderline” off her latest album b7.
She then welcomed Ty Dolla $ign for the debut performance of their collaborative single “No Tomorrow Part 2.” The two showed off their chemistry as they brought their new duet to life.
“I’m a huge fan of Ty Dolla $ign. I think he’s a brilliant artist,” said Brandy. “He’s always shown a lot of respect for my music so I just felt like the sound of our voices would be great.”
For the finale, the 41-year-old singer took it all the way back to 1998 with her classic “Almost Doesn’t Count” off her sophomore album, Never Say Never.
