The Billboard Music Awards (#BBMAs for you Twitter savvy folks) descended upon us again and it was more star-studded than ever. As expected with any celebrity event, the BBMAs blew up the Twittersphere, between Taylor Swift premiering the celeb-packed video for “Bad Blood” (ah-mazing) to her then kissing(?) Calvin Harris after winning an award to One Direction thanking Zayn to the crazy number of performances from stars like Nick Jonas and Fall Out Boy. See the most talked about moments from the night in our Tweetcap of the BBMAs!

The censoring in Kanye’s performance ruined it for most people watching the live event:
Dear Kanye, what’s the point of performing on TV if nobody can see OR hear you? #BBMAs — brian_mansfield (@brian_mansfield) May 18, 2015
