Chrissy Tiegen did a great job of hosting The Billboard Music Awards Sunday, apart from one small mishap.
As Chrissy Tiegen made her way to the stage with co-host Ludacris, the train of her dress tripped up a member of the audience causing the woman to faceplant.
Chrissy Tiegen didn’t even miss a beat as she continued to make her way to the stage. With a quick look over her shoulder as if to say, what just happened, the host continued her walk up the steps to the stage.
Before the awards show got underway, Chrissy Tiegen and husband John Legend talked about preparations for her role as co-host.
“I got a spray tan the other night, which is on my palms,” she told E! News on the 2015 Billboard Music Awards red carpet. “It matches John’s hands as well because he was touching my breasts apparently in the middle of the night.”

“That’s what happens when married couples sleep together,” John Legend added with a smile on his face.
One thing Chrissy Tiegen was worried about is her vision.
“Honestly, I’m blind as a bat so acuvue came to my hotel, gave me contact lenses and I’m still getting used to them,” she told Giuliana Rancic. “If I flub, just blame my vision.”

Chrissy Tiegen said she had a game plan for the hosting duties.
“I have a lot to read,” she said. “I have to slow down but for the most part, I think I’m pretty okay.”
Live singing is a helluva thing.
If you look at Tiegen’s Twitter page, you’ll see a long stream of comments from Brown’s fans ranging from angry to threatening, and Tiegen wasn’t shy about answering them back. Caution: strong language (obviously).

Tiegen finally ended the retweets and stopped replying to the comments on her page, saying “This is less about Chris and more about the insanity that spews out of the rabid mouthes of Team Breezy. Done. There will be no more said.” And while some of her followers came to her defense during the melee, it’s mostly been overlooked that singers Pink and Joe Jonas also tweeted about Brown’s performance, yet for some reason Tiegen was singled out, perhaps because she’s not as known as the others.
Brown, who is well-known for his dancing and outrageous stage performances, might have just been relying on a backing track to keep the physical aspect of his performance flowing well, as many singers are wont to do.
