Rihanna, Swift take top prizes in Billboard’s return
After five years of dormancy, the Billboard Music Awards were revived Sunday with a major dose of star power.
Rihanna got the show off to a steamy start, wearing a skimpy leather outfit for her hit song "S&M," and was joined at the end of the number by Britney Spears, who appears on a remix on the track.
Taylor Swift won the evening’s first award, as top album artist, behind the multimillion sales for "Speak Now."
