After the opening performance, there was zero applause. When Clarkson did her opening monologue, again, nothing. After Lil Nas X picked up the award for Top Hot 100 Song , there was no cheering.
We get it, there's no audience because it's a safety hazard amid the pandemic. And while viewers complained about the canned reactions on previous shows like the VMAs and Emmys, the BBMAs proved that maybe fake applause really was the way to go. Clarkson even mentioned the silence later in the show."There's no secret that there's no audience here tonight. I think we gathered that earlier when I was like woo and no one cheered with me," she joked."So the producers and I were debating whether or not to have fake applause. I said, the only way I would agree to it is if I could control it, because I like control."
She then showed off a remote with laughs, cheers and even boos -- for"anytime Covid is mentioned because it sucks the life out of everything." Sadly, the remote never returned and the silences continued.
