Taylor Swift scoops 8 Billboard awards

The biggest names in music headed to Las Vegas last night for Billboard's 2013 Music Awards.

If you have a Billboard magazine subscription then we’re sure you know that last night saw American music’s finest gather together for the annual Billboard awards in Las Vegas.

Whilst Taylor Swift may be notoriously unlucky in love, her career certainly doesn’t suffer from the same fate, as she went home with a very impressive 8 awards last night, including top artist and top Billboard 200 album for Red.

On accepting one award, she told the audience: "You are the longest and best relationship I ever had."

Rihanna and Gotye weren’t far behind with four awards each and Justin Bieber won three awards including top male artist, social artist and the milestone award (and was also spotted kissing ‘ex-girlfriend’ Selena Gomez!).

Bieber was quick to shrug off the recent media attention he’s had, saying: "I'm 19 years old; I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically from my heart I really just want to say it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick. I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken."

Other winners included One Direction, Maroon 5, Madonna, Nicki Minaj and fun.
