#BBMAS: TAYLOR SWIFT WINS TOP HONOURS AT 2013 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards were held in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand tonight and winning top honours tonight was Taylor Swift with a total eight awards including Top Artist and Billboard Hot 200 Album with her Disc, Red.  Poking fun at herself, Swift accepted her Award, stating, “you’re the longest and best relationship I’ve ever had!”.

Not to be outshone, Rihanna and Gotye both picked-up four awards each – the former doing extremely well in the R&B Categories winning Top Album, Song and Artist, while also nabbing Top Radio Songs Artist.  Gotye was victorious in the categories: Hot 100 Song, Rock Song, Radio Song and Streaming Song (Audio) based on the strength of his Smash with Kimbra, Somebody That I Used To Know.

Two Pop Legends were honoured also in Prince and Madonna.  The former not only performing tonight a Medley which included Let’s Go Crazy, received the Icon Award for his lasting career which has seen ten Diamond Albums and 30 Top 40 Hits.  The latter, whom we spotted in New York City last week at the Met Gala, won Top Touring Artist for her MDNA Tour.

Canada’s Carly Rae Jepsen even was recognized with the Award for Top Digital Song with Call Me Maybe.

Although the evening was highlighted by some dazzling performances from the likes of Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pitbull, it was Miguel who stirred-up the most controversy apparently kicking two female Fans when crowdsurfing into the audience during his performance of Adorn.
