First off, I cannot believe that this performance was back in 2011! I feel like I was just watching it on tv a couple of years ago.

But here she is, Beyoncé performing Run The World (Girls) live at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. Too bad she won't be there for this weekend's show. And secondly, while we're on the topic, let's look back at that year's red carpet as well.
