DiS at The Billboard Awards 2015 in Las Vegas - Live Coverage
sean by Sean Adams May 17th, 2015

DiS is in Las Vegas today for the annual Billboard Music Awards, and we'll be live-tweeting the televised extravaganza.

Ludacris and model Chrissy Teigen will be hosting the awards at the MGM Grand Arena, which features performances from Simple Minds (paying tribute to the 30th Anniversary of John Hughes' The Breakfast Club - pictured above in rehearsals), falloutboy, Hozier, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears featuring Iggy Azalea, Van Halen, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa and more (including Chris Brown!?).

The likes of 50 Cent, Charli XCX, Celine Dion, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, One Direction, Rita Ora, Molly Ringwald, Calvin Harris will be presenting the gongs for a host of awards. Taylor Swift - who will be premiering her 'Bad Blood' video - is up for 13 awards, and we wouldn't be surprised if she won all of them. Full list of awards and nominees can be found here.

If you don't already follow @drownedinsound (tut, tut!) or don't use Twitter, you can see our reactions, photos, failed attempts to become Taylor Swift's new best friend, and glimpses behind the curtain here:
