Leave it to Taylor Swift to make an epic appearance at one the most epic of all awards show afterparties following the Billboard Music Awards. After debuting her dizzyingly star-studded “Bad Blood” video, snagging eight BBMA trophies, and kissing boyfriend Calvin Harris like no one was watching, Swift headed to the Nobu Villa at Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace where BFF Ed Sheeran booked space for the afterparty.
In attendance for Sheeran’s mega bash? Swift, Harris, Pentatonix, the Fifth Harmony girls, Adrian Grenier, Hailee Steinfeld, and Tori Kelly, to name a few. One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Niall Horan stopped by the festivities, but Swift’s ex, Harry Styles, conveniently skipped town after the show to avoid facetime with his former flame.
The guest list was no doubt impressive, but what really made this party over-the-top — and left Us with a major case of FOMO — were the epic photos snapped in the party photo booth. Complete with costumes and other props, the photo session made its way ’round the Internet, sending Swift’s fans into a total frenzy.
In one photo posted by Swift’s younger brother, Austin, the siblings ham it up with Tomlinson, Horan, Sheeran, and Harris. Entourage‘s Grenier and Pitch Perfect‘s Steinfeld also took home the photo booth memento, sharing their snaps on Twitter and Instagram. (Who’s that guy in the pic with Steinfeld and Swift? Republic Records EVP Charlie Walk.)

While Swift made the rounds as hostess, she carved out special time for new beau Harris, and if one photo booth pic making the web rounds is to be believed, the pair shared a steamy smooch at the bash.
“They’re making time for each other in a way that other guys she’s been with haven’t before,” an insider previously told Us of the couple, who started dating earlier this spring. “They’re taking it one step at a time.”
