What a year for Lorde! Not only did the 17-year-old Australia native burst onto the scene with her smash hit 'Royals' and her debut album, 'Pure Heroine,' but for the first time ever she is also up for a dozen Billboard Music Awards in a whopping 12 out of 40 categories.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez just can't quit each other, but it looks like Taylor Swift is ready to quit them both. Backstage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, when the pair were caught getting cozy, Swift was caught getting, well, disgusted.

Justin Bieber was about to have a moment at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards last night (May 19) when he accepted the impressive Milestone Award at the tender age of 19 -- but his acceptance of the coveted honor was marred by a chorus of boos and screams, the latter from his dedicated corps of Beliebers.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards went down tonight (May 19) in Las Vegas! We kept track of all the winners while the show was happening, especially nod leaders Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, fun. and Rihanna. Swift took home three awards; some were obvious like the Top Billboard 200 album ('Red' was KILLER on the charts in the last year) and Top Country Artist...

When Taylor Swift was in town last month, Erin and myself were given the opportunity to meet her backstage. In our brief conversation with Taylor, we were impressed by just how nice and... real... she was! (And, she's a hugger)

After a five year break, last night's Billboard Music Awards were full of stars and performances. And not just of music... First Lady Michelle Obama was there!
