Teddy Swims on His Favorite Thing About Performing ‘Lose Control’ Live | Billboard Music Awards 2024

Teddy Swims talks about his favorite thing about performing “Lose Control” live and why the BBMAs are special this year at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Teddy Swims:
I tried my very best that when we performed, I always make it feel like it’s our living room, you know. And in my living room, I walk around butt naked, not that I’ll physically be butt naked, but figuratively, I just try to create a safe place for myself and other people to feel that we’re, you know, in the same room together.

My favorite part about performing live is this, this beautiful thing that you get to, you know, when you’re writing the song, you kind of are just, it’s solely kind of for you in the moment. But I think what’s so beautiful is that the place that I was in at the time the song was written, when I was really down bad, it was it’s a moment that I got to kind of gain ownership of that trauma, and also people that are going through the same kind of like trauma that we get to kind of turn that into a celebration and own it and celebrate it together and come out on the other side. And always, always had that we won together.

You should tune in to watch the Billboard Music Awards, though, because I’m gonna be a part of it. So maybe, maybe, if that’s not enough, there’s a lot of huge artists. I think this year is so special because, you know, there’s so many new artists that I think are like legacy artists, and I think there’s so many new artists that are, I think, here to stay, and I think this is going to be a historic year. That’s going to be 10 years down the line, every one of those new artists you see this year are going to be still there.
