The Billboard Music Awards was packed with performances – mostly lackluster performances – but there were a few highlights. For one, Miguel almost certainly caught a law suit when he jumped over the crowd and landed on a woman’s head.
Actually, most of the highlights were controversial and had nothing to do with the actual performances…
Check out my summary and video of each performance below. Continue reading

Earlier this year Billboard announced that Prince will perform at this year’s Billboard Music Awards, after receiving the Billboard Icon Award, which is really all I needed to be interested. Really. But, today comes news that the newest pop princess and princes will also grace the stage at this year’s shows.
Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Miguel and Justin Bieber will all perform when the show airs live on May 19 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
Don’t try to contain your excitement. Just let it out.
Taylor Swift in “22″ video
T. Swizzle debuted the music video for her newest Red single this morning on Good Morning America, because today’s the 13th and that’s her favorite number. The video doesn’t have a strong storyline, like Swift’s previous videos, but she says it was her favorite one to shoot because it actually features her real friends. According to the video, feeling 22 encompasses laying on the beach, dancing wildly (and offbeat) and going to a party wearing cat ears as a headband.
Special year. Continue reading

Dressed in a top hat, Taylor Swift brought her no. 1 single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” to life once more at the Grammys. It wasn’t her best vocally or performance wise and she didn’t perform “I Knew You Were Trouble” like many fans were hoping, but she’s Taylor Swift, so she still wins.
Earlier in the day Swift snagged a Grammy for her “Safe & Sound” collaboration with The Civil Wars in the Song for Visual Media category.
Later in the show, Carrie Underwood took to the stage to perform “Blown Away” and “Two Black Cadillacs.” In my honest opinion, the vocals were a bit nasally, but it was still a pretty good performance.
Underwood snagged 2 awards for “Blown Away” tonight, including Best Country Song.

Taylor Swift Performs On New Year’s Rockin Eve
Just before the New Year, Taylor Swift celebrated the end of 2012 with a performance of her latest singles “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” It wasn’t her best, vocally, but most of the people in Times Square were boozed up anyway so I’m sure they didn’t mind!
If I got to bring in the New Year with Queen Tay Tay I sure wouldn’t complain!
Happy New Year!! Continue reading

Taylor Swift in “I Knew You Were Trouble” Video
Taylor Swift’s video for “I Knew You Were Trouble” premiered last night on MTV. In it she plays a girl who falls for a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Taylor sports a new look putting her more into a character and moving away from the dorky good girl next door. It’s her poppiest and most mature sounding song yet. Click here to watch the clip!
