Legendary singers Cher and Celine Dion rocked the stage at last night's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. And although the two music divas appeared to be friendly on camera, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the divas dueled behind the scenes. Click through 7 photos to find out why Dion was so upset about Cher.
One day after turning 71 years old, legendary singer Cher belted out her classic hits "If I Could Turn Back Time" and "Believe." But as fans rejoiced over the mother of Chaz Bono, 48, winning the Icon Award following her performances, a source backstage at the show said that there was one person who was NOT happy – Celine Dion.
As fans know Dion, 49, and Cher have competing shows in Las Vegas. "There is already so much animosity between the two of them," said the source.
But according to the insider, Cher "does not care at all about the drama."
As those who watched last night's award show know, Dion also gave an epic performance — singing her hit song "My Heart Will Go On," which she originally released 20 years ago.
During her acceptance speech, Cher told the crowd, "I've been doing it for 53 years. This is not an applause thing. I'm 71 yesterday. ... And I can do a five-minute plank, just saying."
Dion "did her best to save face last night," the insider told RadarOnline.com. "But Las Vegas is her stomping grounds, and she felt like she should have been allotted more time for her performance."
