Taylor Swift goes public with Calvin Harris romance at Billboard Music Awards

Taylor Swift went public with her Calvin Harris romance at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday (17May15), hugging and kissing the DJ as she collected her Top Billboard 200 Album prize for 1989 towards the start of the ceremony.

Minutes after her new video for Bad Blood opened the prizegiving and Swift made a grand entrance with her pals and promo co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Karlie Kloss and Zendaya Coleman, she was awarded the first of her eight trophies.

As she stood up to celebrate, she hugged her pals and then moved along the front row at the MGM Grand arena to Harris, who stood and embraced his girlfriend, kissing her neck. She also hugged pal Ed Sheeran on her way to the stage.

She spent the rest of the night sitting next to Harris.

Swift and Harris have been romantically linked for weeks and were recently spotted holding hands on a date. Neither star has spoken about the romance.

There was another hot couple alert in the front row as Jennifer Lopez spent the entire show sitting next to on/off boyfriend Casper Smart, amid ongoing reports the pair is back together after a 2014 split.
