All eyes were on Taylor Swift [1] as she attended the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Following her return to music earlier this month [2], the singer made a gorgeous appearance at the award show. Wearing a frilly lavender minidress [3], Taylor looked every inch the "cool chick" as she posed for the cameras on the red carpet (and hung out with Paula Abdul and her cats [4] backstage, naturally). The singer opened the award show [5] with Panic! at the Disco singer Brendon Urie as they gave a magical performance of her new single "Me!" [6] for the very first time.
Taylor has been stepping back into the spotlight in a big way over the past few months. In addition to releasing new music, the singer was recently named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people [7] in the world. Seeing how much of a fan frenzy she is causing with her upcoming seventh album [8], we think the title is well-deserved.
