While you were out enjoying family time last night, some of your favorite artists were getting awards for being awesome at their jobs.

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards took place on Sunday night at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. The event aired on ABC.

Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, and Usher were some of the few names to hit the stage to perform. Brown’s psychedelic glow in the dark colors and flying stunt bikes on his performance “Turn Up the Music” and Katy Perry’s acrobatic “Part of Me” were eye candy for the night. Usher settled for a massively impressive choreographed dance number to his new single “Scream.”

Possibly the most impressive moment was when Jordin Sparks took the stage and made everyone’s jaw drop with her version of “I Will Always Love You” in honor of the late and great Whitney Houston. Sparks costars with Houston in the upcoming summer film Sparkle set in the 1960’s about three sisters who hit it big in Motown.

Taylor Swift (you might have heard of her) is on a roll. For the second year in a row, she took home entertainer of the year at the 47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Miranda Lambert was named this year’s top female vocalist (for the third time in a row), while her husband, Blake Shelton, won the same award in the male category. He also co-hosted the show with Reba McEntire.

Upon hearing her name as the winner of the fan-based award, Taylor Swift looked unsurprised. And so did everyone else. At this point, they might as well rename the “entertainer of the year” award to the Taylor Swift Award.

She said: "After no longer doing my show, knowing you guys still watch it means so much."
