The 21st annual BET Awards this past Sunday (June 27th) night proved to be a fantastic affair. Hosted by actress Taraji P. Henson, the awards show took place in front of a live audience at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.

BET made sure that this awards show, the first since last year’s all-virtual event, was charged with intensity from the opening performance of gospel legend Kirk Franklin and rapper Lil Baby’s song “We Win.” The theme of the 2021 BET Awards was “The Year of The Black Woman”, and the ladies certainly shined with their performances throughout the night.
