Last night ABC aired the 2015 Billboard Awards, and pop princess Taylor Swift owned the night. Not only did the 25-year-old debut both a new music video starring rapper Kendrick Lamar and new boyfriend DJ Calvin Harris, the young diva racked up 9 awards. New beau also went home with the Top Electronic / Dance Award.

The Night’s Other Winners Include

To no surprise, Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy” took home the title of Top R&B Song, beating out John Legend’s “All of Me,” Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne, French Montana, Too $hort & Tyga, “Loyal” and Jason Derulo feat. 2 Chainz, “Talk Dirty”– which I wouldn’t call R&B ever. Pharrell was also awarded Top R&B Artist over Beyoncé, Chris Brown and John Legend, and won Top R&B Album for G I R L.

John Legend, however, did snag the award for Top Streaming Song (audio) for “All of Me.”

For Top Rap Album J. Cole beat out Nicki Minaj, Drake and Eminem with 2014 Forest Hills Drive. While, Top Rap Song went to Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX for “Fancy.” Iggy also won Top Rap Artist.

Sam Smith won Top Radio Songs and Top New Artist.

I had no idea that Country Star Carrie Underwood has now crossed over to Christian music. The American Idol alumnae took home the Top Christian Song for “Something in the Water.”

Top Digital Song went to Meghan Trainor, “All About That Bass.”

DJ Snake & Lil Jon took home the gold for Top Dance/ Electronic Song for “Turn Down For What.”
