Behind-the-scenes footage of Teddy Swims performing at the BBMAs at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
Patrick Adair:
Hi, I’m Patrick Adair. I am the art director of Teddy Swims. Teddy and his team have really been the ones guiding this from the beginning. It was completely their vision, his vision, and I think we did a great job of delivering on that vision.
Teddy swimming:
I think we found ideas for the whole album and the show that I’m really fascinated by, like this, retro-futurism, this, this old movie, A Clockwork Orange.
Patrick Adair:
It takes a lot of work to plan a show like this, and it’s all done in a week.
Jairus “JJ” Hatch:
I’m really excited about this particular performance. We’re going to have people standing behind us and around again, almost like a 360 set, and the energy is going to be crazy and really excited for you guys to make these songs. I worked with Teddy for 13-14 years. He is my brother. This is not work. We love music. I love his heart, his passion, and he knows mine. And because of that, we were able to come together and make it one, so, yeah,
Teddy swimming:
You guys make me nervous.
Christian Strobl:
I honestly think he’s one of the most raw and authentic talents we’ve had in a long time. So when he said, “Yeah, I want to work with you,” I was excited. Honestly, he just transcended another space and time, so I wanted to take his wardrobe to the next level but keep it natural and cool and feel fresh.
Teddy swimming:
My favorite part about performing live is trying to create a safe place for myself and other people to feel like we’re together, you know, in the same room. You know, I’m honored to have the best job in the world, my best friend, so here’s to the best of you ever.
