LAS VEGAS - Gun violence and last week's Texas school shooting took centre stage at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night in a show that also saw pop stars Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran walk away with top honours.
The award show host Kelly Clarkson, who was the first winner of 'American Idol,' kicked off the proceedings on a sombre note saying "once again we're grieving for more kids that have died for just absolutely no reason."
Can we just re-live tonight all over again? IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! What was your favorite moment? #BBMAs pic.twitter.com/xAo0zBJwtY

"They also wanted me to do a moment of silence and I'm so sick of 'moment of silence,' it's not working ... why don't we not do a moment of silence, why do a moment of action?" Clarkson asked her audience, struggling to hold back tears.
Later, teen singing sensation Shawn Mendes and singer Khalid were joined on stage by the choir from Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for a performance honouring victims on school shootings.
