Ariana opening, Beyonce closing, Taylor stealing the show with her performance right in the middle, when ratings peak.

The Lord.

Isn't that fake radio station that said about Katy's payola?

Who was the ending act last year? GaGa opened, right?

Isn't that the infamous internet radio station?

He more than likely is still opening...
