Urie has been busy lately. He just dropped his gigantic record-breaking collab “ME!” with Taylor Swift.
In case you haven’t seen it, check out the video for “ME!” below, which broke the record for the most views on a video in 24 hours on Vevo.
The two are set to open the Billboard Music Awards with the song, which Panic! At The Disco will also perform at later in the evening. It’ll be the first time the band ever performed at the awards show.
The band is also up for four awards that night, including Best Rock Song with “High Hopes.” They will also be going against twenty one pilots, Dave Matthews Band, Mumford & Sons and Imagine Dragons for Best Rock Album.
The awards show will be held at MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas May 1, and it will air live at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
Urie also just revealed he’d love to collab with country artist/former scene kid Kacey Musgraves.
