Sunday night marked the Billboard Music Awards [1], and there was so much going on, we barely had time to process. Amid all the performances — some of which didn't even happen at the actual ceremony — were a score of teleprompter snafus, a very inappropriate joke, and much, much more. Did you miss the show? That's OK: we watched, and we've got everything you need, right here. Keep scrolling for all the highlights.
- Before we get into every crazy moment from the show, let's talk about the red carpet. You can see all the celebrities in our red carpet roundup [2].
- Of course, Kendall and Kylie Jenner kicked things off [3] on the carpet, because who else was going to do it?
- Let's focus on Chrissy Teigen for a second, though. Her red carpet look [4] was out of this world.
- Speaking of Chrissy, she had John Legend [5] on her arm, and he looked like he could not get enough of her. There were plenty of other couples on the red carpet [6], too, including Jennifer Lopez [7] and Casper Smart, Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo, and more!
- So tell us, which country diva totally tore it up? Was it Carrie Underwood [8] or Miranda Lambert? Cast your vote in our poll [9], and help us decide.
Once the show got started, things got a little out of hand. In fact, here's a list of questions [10] we'd like someone to answer for us.
How about that too-soon Solange Knowles joke [11]? Way to go, Mark Cuban.
Robin Thicke was there, too, and he spent the whole show trying to win his wife back [12].
On a more heartwarming note, that Michael Jackson tribute [13] was amazing. Also, we were totally mystified by how they pulled that off.
Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner had one job, and she totally messed it up [14].
There were definitely quite a few interesting performances. Katy Perry [15] hopped into a literal birthday suit and performed [16] from her latest tour stop, overseas.
Miley Cyrus [17] was absent too, but that didn't stop her from performing a Beatles cover [18], which involved absolutely no twerking.
While all of that was happening on a stage that wasn't the Billboard stage, Shakira totally made out with Gerard Piqué [19] backstage. You have to see the pic.
And of course, Jennifer Lopez [20] brought down the house and closed the show [21] and even went home with an icon award.
Oh, and one more thing. Lorde [22] won two awards. She was amazing and cool and didn't act at all like a 17-year-old. Also, she kind of looked like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones [23].
