Taylor Swift is really cleaning up at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards and she can add Artist of the Year to the laundry list of hardware that she's taking home from Vegas.

EDM categories were new to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards this year, so it seems totally fitting that David Guetta took home the prize for Top EDM Artist.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Justin Bieber took home the honors for Top Male Artist at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. With an army of Beliebers behind him, could there have been any different outcome? We don't think so!

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards were bittersweet for Justin Bieber. He nabbed the coveted Milestone Award, but the crowd didn't make it easy for him to accept.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards were pretty much a party for Pitbull that hardly stopped. Following his performance of 'Feel This Moment' with Christina Aguilera and Morten Harket of A-Ha, he took the stage once more to join Jennifer Lopez for 'Live It Up.'

In Madonna's own words as she accepted her honor for Top Touring Artist at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, "A showgirl needs her fans." Truly Madge owes her devoted following for her continued success as a musician on the road.

Pitbull and Christina Aguilera had a true "A-Ha moment" at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards with 'Feel This Moment.'

Following a glowing introduction by Hayden Panettiere, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took the stage at the Wynn Las Vegas to perform their hit song ‘Thrift Shop’ at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards tonight (May 19).

Selena Gomez followed an impressive performance by Bruno Mars on tonight’s (May 19) Billboard Music Awards. The young songstress stayed true to her ongoing — not to mention controversial — Indian-inspired theme with a live delivery of her latest single, ‘Come & Get It.’

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards kicked off with a bang in the form of Bruno Mars. Mars and his Smeezington buddies were clad in red pants, red jackets and black shirts. He let his curls run free, not topping his outfit with his usual fedora. There were horns, guitars, drums and, of course, that voice!
