During Kelly Clarkson‘s opening medley of nominees’ songs at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday in Las Vegas_ by [Melody Chiu / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Melody Chiu / People Contributor May 21, 2018 2:56 PM UTC by [Melody Chiu / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Melody Chiu / People Contributor May 21, 2018 2:56 PM UTC [Taylor Swift](http://people.com/tag/taylor-swift/) is [finally back at an awards show](http://people.com/music/billboard-music-awards-2018-taylor-swift-red-carpet-return/) — and serving up some serious sass. During [Kelly Clarkson](http://people.com/tag/kelly-clarkson/)‘s opening medley of nominees’ songs at the [Billboard Music Awards](http://people.com/music/billboard-music-awards-2018-winners-list/) on Sunday in Las Vegas, the _Voice_ coach covered the Grammy winner’s hit “[Look What You Made Me Do](http://people.com/music/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-slams-haters-criticism/).” When the camera panned to Swift, the superstar (sandwiched between her [pals Shawn Mendes](http://people.com/music/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-shawn-mendes-surprise-guest/) and [Camila Cabello](http://people.com/tag/camila-cabello/)) was seen rolling her eyes, glancing at her nails and casually singing along before breaking out into laughter. Her Swifties took to Twitter to voice their appreciation for the star, who hasn’t attended an awards show since the [64th Annual BMI Pop Awards](http://people.com/style/taylor-swift-2-0-keeps-it-90s-in-a-choker-and-velvet-dress-at-the-bmi-pop-awards/) in 2016. The “Delicate” singer, 28, opted for an ethereal pink gown with a thigh-high slit and embellished silver details on the bodice by Versace for the annual show. She topped off her look with Casadei heels, Hueb earrings and rings by Fernando Jorge, Sara Weinstock Jewelry and Maxior. Swift received a total of five nominations, including the top artist category for which she was up against [Drake](http://people.com/tag/drake/), [Kendrick Lamar](http://people.com/tag/kendrick-lamar/), [Bruno Mars](https://people.com/tag/bruno-mars/) and [Ed Sheeran](https://people.com/tag/ed-sheeran/). She ended up taking home top female artist and top-selling album categories. The entertainer’s surprise appearance at the BBMAs comes one day after she performed two sold-out shows in the Los Angeles-area as part of her _Reputation_ Stadium tour. She [surprised 60,000 fans](http://people.com/music/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-shawn-mendes-surprise-guest/) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, by bringing out [Shawn Mendes](http://people.com/tag/shawn-mendes) on Friday and shocked the crowds on Saturday when she shared the stage with another very special guest: [Selena Gomez](http://people.com/tag/selena-gomez). Swift will be back on the road on Tuesday when she performs at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. [Her _Reputation_ Stadium Tour](http://people.com/music/taylor-swift-reputation-stadium-tour-everything-to-know/) will see her play dates across North America, Europe and Oceania through November.
