Billboard Music Awards: Taylor Swift Wins Big, Justin Bieber Booed

Taylor Swift dominated the 2013 Billboard Music awards, winning eight of 11 awards for which she was nominated, including top artist and top Billboard album for Red. Swift also performed during the night, taking to the stage to sing her hit “22.” When receiving one of her many awards the country pop star told the audience, “You are the longest and best relationship I ever had.”

Behind Swift for the most wins were Gotye and Rihanna, who tied for second with four awards a piece. Both Maroon 5 and fun. were nominated for 11 awards, but received only one each during the show’s pre-telecast announcements.

Justin Bieber, who performed twice during the awards show, won three awards: top male artist, social artist and the fan-voted milestone award. Beating both Swift and Bruno Mars, he took to the stage to accept the milestone award only to be met with boos from the crowd. He responded to the jeers, saying, “I'm 19 years old; I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically from my heart I really just want to say it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick," he said. "I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken."

Performances of the night included Selena Gomez singing new single “Come & Get It,” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis entertaining with “Thrift Shop,” and Chris Brown seeming to struggle through a performance of “Fine China.” Most notably, Prince, who rarely gives public performances, treated the audience with a medley of his hits while rocking out on the guitar in a flashy turquoise and purple outfit.

Miguel also had a memorable moment at the Billboard Music Awards. During his performance of "Adorn," he came up short on a leap and landed on one woman and kicked another in the audience.
