Twitter just announced on its blog that it will present a special cast of live-tweeters to cover the Billboard Music Awards, airing Sunday live on ABC at 8pm ET / 7pm CT (8pm PT).
A BBMA Live Tweet has been set up here, and the live-tweeters include Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado and AFI bassist Hunter Burgan.
Modern Family stars Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell are hosting the awards, and fans can check in on the BBMA Live Tweet throughout the day of the event.
