The 2014 Billboard Music Awards are here, and tonight was one heck of a show!

What a year for Lorde! Not only did the 17-year-old Australia native burst onto the scene with her smash hit 'Royals' and her debut album, 'Pure Heroine,' but for the first time ever she is also up for a dozen Billboard Music Awards in a whopping 12 out of 40 categories.

The Billboard Music Awards swarmed Las Vegas on Sunday night (May 19), and due to the not-exactly-formal nature of the event, the red carpet ensembles were a mix of couture gowns and more casual, low-key frocks. Here's our recap of the evening's best -- and there were quite a few. It was refreshing to see so many dresses we'd sever a limb to own.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards went down tonight (May 19) in Las Vegas! We kept track of all the winners while the show was happening, especially nod leaders Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, fun. and Rihanna. Swift took home three awards; some were obvious like the Top Billboard 200 album ('Red' was KILLER on the charts in the last year) and Top Country Artist...

The winners of the 2012 Billboard Music Awards were announced during tonight’s (May 20) show, held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Justin Bieber won the first award of the night, taking home the prize for Top Social Artist thanks to his 22 million plus followers on Twitter and the 43 million ‘Likes’ he has on Facebook. Katy Perry was also honored in the beginning of the 2012 Billboard Music A

One talented pianist honored another when Alicia Keys presented Stevie Wonder with the Icon Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. She also joined the legendary singer for a performance of his classic hits ‘Higher Ground’ and ‘Overjoyed.’

Don’t get us wrong — we love Nelly Furtado. But her performance of her new single ‘Big Hoops’ during the Billboard Music Awards fell a bit short of our expectations. With such big hits as ‘I’m Like a Bird’ and ‘Maneater,’ we were excited to see what the songstress had in store for us tonight.

Although the 2012 Billboard Music Awards were all about honoring artists for their chart-topping achievements, the show would be remiss if they didn’t honor their biggest chart queen of them all Whitney Houston. The late pop icon was posthumously honored with the Millennium Award at the BMAs on Sunday (May 20), which was followed by a beautiful tribute.

Katy Perry performed her brand new single ‘Wide Awake’ for the first time at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, doing so while suspended from a swing in mid-air. Some might say Katy was soaring to new heights.

Cee Lo Green joined forces with his rap group Goodie Mob to perform ‘Fight to Win,’ a new track from the newly reunited hip-hop icons at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. While onstage, Goodie Mob seized the moment and paid tribute to the Beastie Boys‘ Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch.
