Machine Gun Kelly showed up at the Billboard Music Award 2021 sporting a black tongue and so far the reason why he did so is unknown.
Machine Gun Kelly has painted his tongue black for the Billboard Awards
The musician made his transformation on Instagram, posting a video showing him applying some sort of dye or paint to his tongue with a cotton swab.
Like many of MGK’s actions, we don’t know exactly why he did it, but the black tongue for the red carpet is certainly a ‘look’.
He could be seen posing with girlfriend Megan Fox before his stint at the Billboard Awards, where the 31-year-old artist took home the awards for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Artist.
Along with the black tongue, the singer sported a white shirt with open buttons underneath a black jacket and black pants.
She also sported a modern-looking pearl necklace with matching earrings.
MGK was also nominated in the Top Rock Song category with Blackbear for their collaborative work on My Ex’s Best Friend, however, pop trio AJR won the award for their single BANG!
Taking the stage after winning the award for Best Rock Album, the singer said, “This is the first big stage I’ve been invited to accept an award.”
He went on to say, “To the dreamers who are going to be reality tested like I was, suspend logic and invite magic.”
