May 22 (UPI) -- Model and television personality Chrissy Teigen skipped the 2017 Billboard Music Awards for Magic Mike Live. The 31-year-old Lip Sync Battle host missed husband John Legend's performance at the awards show Sunday in Las Vegas because she was seeing the Magic Mike-inspired show.

"And it. Was dope," she tweeted of the experience.
Teigen had shared videos on Snapchat of herself and a group of girlfriends heading to Magic Mike Live. She said earlier that she was spending time with family, but would catch the Billboard Music Awards on TV.
"My sister and niece live in Vegas. I'm hanging out with them and not trying to force my back into a dress. but watching #bbmas!" she wrote.
Legend and country duo Florida Georgia Line performed a mashup of their songs "Surefire" and "H.O.L.Y." at the ceremony. Florida Georgia Line singer Tyler Hubbard praised Legend on the red carpet prior to the show.
"It's a little mash-up that's big for us. He is one of our heroes, and somebody we look up to," Hubbard told E! News.
Teigen and Legend married in 2013, and welcomed daughter Luna in April 2016. The couple delighted fans this month on Lip Sync Battle by recreating the upside-down kiss from Spider-Man.
