We love scrolling through the Instagram feeds of celebrities any time of day. But on the night of a big industry event, it's particularly fun. It's interesting to get a glimpse of the evening from the stars' perspectives. And the 2016 Billboard Music Awards were no exception.

Some performers, like Celine Dion, gave us a peak at their pre-show glam routine. Others, like Laverne Cox, shared their favorite shots from the red carpet. Heidi Klum posted a backstage photo with one of the night's best acts. And Kristen Bell wants us to know she took a nap during Sunday night's ceremonies. And there are more.
