The BBMA Swiftlist: What you need to know tonight. Bad Blood is coming.

We might end up calling it the Taylor Swift show, Taylor Nation.

Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who hopes it’s nice where you are, we’re getting a little anxious for the show. The 2015 Billboard Music Awards take place at MGM Grand Central Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The ceremony is broadcast live on ABC at 8pm Eastern / 7pm Central. The show is delayed for 8pm Pacific Time. Taylor’s “Bad Blood” music video will premiere at the start of the show. The Blonde With The Sparkly 1989 Microphone has 14 nominations:

The Queen of Sparks already gave away that Selena is playing the lead actress. Wait, if Taylor is not the heroine… could it mean she’s the villain? Stay tuned!
