Justin Bieber explains inviting fan to Billboard Music Awards

Justin Bieber has opened up on how he ended up inviting one of his fans to join him at the recent Billboard Music Awards.

Bieber attended the ceremony on Sunday (May 20) with teenager Cady Eimer, who had previously launched a year long campaign to invite Bieber to her prom as her date.

However, the busy singer was unable attend - so he and manager Scooter Braun decided to invite her instead to the Billboard awards as Bieber's special guest.

Speaking to ET Online, Bieber said that it was just as fun for him as it was for her. He said:

"At the end of the day, it's as fun for me as it is for her. I'm able to hang out and have a good time. I couldn't go to prom, so why not have her come and hang out and have a good time. It was mine and Scooter's idea. We were like, 'We can't make it to the prom, but what's coming up soon that she would want to come to?' So we were like, 'Billboard Awards!'"
