Billboard Music Awards 2013


The Billboard awards presented another let down for Swifties everywhere. Taylor should have won the Milestone award, but more on that later. Tay still made out quite well though.

For starters, her dress was absolutely F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S. Royal blue is a great color on her. I also loved her makeup and how blue eyeliner was incorporated into her traditional look. That really made her eyes pop. I also loved her lipstick and would like to know what brand/shade it was so I can get some for myself.

A favorite moment of the night for me was OF COURSE the first EVER live performance of 22 (obviously aside from the tour). Taylor did not disappoint. I love the fact that she did something different and started the show backstage. I love her high-waisted shorts and her adorable blue unicorn tee shirt. Going through the backstage area was awesome; I loved when she got up on the table and started dancing. Going through the audience on the back of a bike was super cute and her dance moves on stage were killer. Harry Styles eat your heart out. 22 is one of my all-time favorite Taylor songs and I will never get tired of seeing her perform it.



 How about all of the awards Taylor DID win?! She walked away with: Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album for RED, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Country Artist, Top Country Album for RED, Top Country Song for We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and Top Digital Artist. She walked away with a whopping 8 awards! (for a full list of all of Taylor’s awards and nominations, check out the Awards page)


Other highlights of the night? Selena Gomez’s performance of “Come and Get It” was spectacular and her introduction for Taylor to sing 22 was so cute. They are adorable friends! Another great performance came from Icona Pop who sang their hit “I Don’t Care”. I still can’t believe Miguel actually kicked a fan during his performance, talk about a freak accident! Watching Taylor and Selena dance during J.Lo and Pitbull’s performance was so cute!


Cute quotes from T Swift as she accepted the Top Artist Award:

“I just want to thank you guys for making my music the soundtrack to your crazy emotions.”

“And to my fans who come to the shows and buy the albums, I just want you to know one thing: you are the longest and best relationship I have ever had.”


I will say though that I do not believe that Justin Bieber deserved to win the Milestone Award. Not one of his “milestones” compares to Taylor’s, or even Bruno Mars’. I truly believe that either of them deserved the award and if it were given by “the academy” then Taylor would have won. But oh well what can ya do? She is still the top artist.
