We promise that you’ll never find another like this opening number.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, the 2019 Billboard Music Awards<\/a> kicked off with a bang as Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> started the show with her very first televised performance of “ME!”<\/p>\n

Joined by Panic! At the Disco<\/strong>‘s Brendon Urie<\/strong>, the pair immediately brought the audience inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena to its feet as they brought their collaboration to life.<\/p>\n

“I promise that you’ll never find another like… \/ Me-eh-eh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,” Taylor sang after bringing out a full-on marching band. “I’m the only one of me \/ Baby, that’s the fun of me.” She would later end the performance up in the sky alongside Brendon. <\/p>\n

Less than a week ago, Taylor delighted “Swifties” with the release of her first single<\/a> from what is expected to be her upcoming album. <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“This song is such a celebration and it’s so playful,” Taylor shared with Ryan Seacrest<\/a><\/strong> during an interview<\/a> with On-Air With Ryan Seacrest<\/em>. “What I wanted was to make people happy about themselves because I think right now everyone literally is so neurotic and insecure and anxious about things, you know? \u2026 I think there should be like a way for us to have a song stuck in our heads that reinforces the fact that we’re individuals, we’re different and obviously there are a lot of songs about \u2018I’m special,’ but I hadn’t heard one recently that was about I’m special because of who I am.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Clearly the fans are enjoying it. <\/p>\n

Thanks to 65.2 million views, Taylor smashed multiple YouTube records with the premiere of her music video for “ME!” She now holds the all-time leading female and solo 24-hour debut for any music video on YouTube.<\/p>\n

And for those who may not have had the opportunity to see Taylor live in Las Vegas, there’s still hope.<\/p>\n

The Grammy winner is expected to perform at iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango June 1 in Southern California. Freeform will exclusively broadcast a 90-minute television special on June 7 at 8 p.m. In addition, LiveXLive will livestream the concert exclusively for fans nationwide on their website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In other words, there’s much more Taylor to come! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
