'You inspired me!' Taylor Swift takes a dig at Harry Styles as she wins MTV VMA… then mouths 'shut the f*** up' as he gets on stage 
 
 She can't help but take digs at her ex Harry Styles at nearly every awards show. 
 
 And Taylor Swift continued the trend as she appeared to back-handedly thank the One Direction singer for their failed romance after receiving an award for Best Female Video at the MTV VMAs on Sunday. 
 
 The 23-year-old was given the honour for her song I Knew You Were Trouble, which was penned with Styles in mind after she felt spurned by the handsome Brit, 19, following their first of two attempts at a romance.

 However, it looked like his bandmates Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson were finding it quite amusing as they smirked at each other at Harry's expense. 
 
 
 
 C ontinuing to shield their iden tity, the duo known as Da ft Punk, hit the stage in matching s p arkling jackets and futuristic chrome helmets that conveniently served to mask their real faces. 
 
 Fitting in with the DJs, Pharrell also wore a glittering jacket as he smiled broadly while proffering the honour to Swift.

 Quite the presenters: Taylor was given the award by Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams 
 
 But it was not the only odd moment for Taylor regarding her ex on Sunday. 
 
 Styles' band One Direction were the presenters for Best Pop Video, and when the boys walked on stage the 22 singer appeared to mouth an obscenity: 'Shut the f*** up'. 
 
 It was unclear if the words actually left Taylor's mouth, but it was certainly consistent with her swipe at Harry later in the evening.

 Sharing a laugh: Taylor and Selena shared a private joke The gong: Swift won for Best Female Video In an apparent dig at her former British love, the singer adopted an English accent as she pretended to speak on her phone mid-performance during a rendition of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. 'I'm sorry, I'm busy opening the Grammys and we're never getting back together,' she quipped, seemingly mocking Styles. The interlude punctuated an incredible performance by the singer, who parted from Harry in early January after a holiday to the British Virgin Islands went sour.

 Taylor wrote the song after the pair briefly dated in Spring 2012, but ended their flirtation when he was photographed kissing American model Emma Ostily in New Zealand that April. 
 
 By November, they had given their romance another try and spent New Year's together in New York City. 
 
 But just a few days later, they split after rowing on holiday in the Caribbean, with their romance lasting just two months.

– Quite a few gossip outlets are gleefully crowing today that Justin Bieber got booed last night while accepting the Milestone Award at the Billboard Music Awards. (Though the cheers from the Beliebers in the audience seem to drown out a lot of the boos in the video, Vulture notes that the jeering was so obvious in the auditorium itself that host Tracy Morgan commented on it.) Sample headlines: TMZ: Justin Bieber—BOOED at Billboard Music Awards Vulture: Justin Bieber Collects Award, Publicly Sulks, Gets Booed The Stir: Justin Bieber Booed at Billboard Music Awards, Making for a Very Awkward Acceptance Speech As for that "very awkward" acceptance speech, here it is: "I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically, from my heart, I really just want to say, it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft, the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick. I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously, and all this other bull should not be spoken of." TMZ also notes that Bieber didn't sit with on-again/off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez at the ceremony, and Gomez didn't stand up when Bieber won Top Male Artist. But Gomez and Bieber were photographed kissing backstage, and in a moment that may cause you to actually appreciate Taylor Swift, Swift made a pretty awesome "ew" face as she spotted the PDA.
