Between having everyone’s fantasy bff Chrissy Teigen as host and premiering Taylor Swift’s epic new video, the 2015 Billboard Music Awards were a win before they even started. Britney and Iggy made all our ’80s dreams come true, Taylor Swift dominated as per usual and Kanye tried to break the censors. And while the show had many noteworthy moments, we like to think that the best moments are captured behind-the-scenes on Instagram. Scroll through for all the action from the Billboard Music Awards that you didn’t see on TV.
1. Martha Hunt + the Rest of Taylor Swift’s Crew: We have only one question: how do we get invited to be part of Taylor’s girl gang? Okay two — and where can we find that Bad Blood clutch? Or make it… ;) (via @marhunt)
2. Chrissy Teigen: Of COURSE cooking/baking rockstar and BBMAs host Chrissy Teigen stashed some of her homebaked goodies backstage. Fun fact: these cupcakes were actually made for Hozier. (via @chrissyteigen)
3. Kelly Clarkson: Kelly Clarkson rocks diaper bags and couture, showing us how to be a star and a star mom all at the same time. (via @kellyclarkson)
4. Britney Spears: That jumpsuit and that performance and that Britney, b*tch was all worth an Instagram shoutout. (via @britneyspears)
5. Imagine Dragons: So many beards in one photo. Imagine Dragons chilled out in the crowd before taking the stage for their beautiful rendition of “Stand by Me.” (via @imaginedragons)
6. Nicki Minaj: Nicki Minaj knows that practice makes perfect. The singer shared this snap of her getting her groove on in the parking lot before hitting the stage. (via @nickiminaj)
7. Charli XCX: How stunning do these two ladies look in this black and white shot? Rita Ora literally rocks the pants off this daring ensemble. (via @charli_xcx)
8. Iggy Azalea: Iggy Azalea debuted her new shorter, pink tipped ‘do and it looked fab. Alright, celebs, who’s the next to take on the pastel hair trend? (via @thenewclassic)
10. Bad Blood After Party: This technical TBT posted last night after the world premiere showed a sneak peek at what payoff is like in Swifty land: In-N-Out for all! We have to assume Taylor + the rest of the Bad Blood Bad Bitches had a similar wrap party last night after the awards. (via @taylorswift)
11. Ludacris: Co-hosts Ludacris and Chrissy Teigen celebrated with John Legend at the after-party and toasted to a great show. (via @ludacris)
12. Lily Aldridge: Taylor Swift gets the thumbs up from pal and fellow Bad Blood cast mate Lily Aldridge. Yup, we told you Taylor had the best night. (via @lilyaldridge)
