Cher just took the stage at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, pasties and all. 
 
 We've seen Cher rock so many different hairstyles and spectacular outfits throughout her entire career, and this evening was no exception. 
 
 From her pasty outfit (that seems to be made completely with silvery beads), to her ever-so-trendy black sheer ensemble in her second performance, we can always count on Cher's elaborate ensembles to be a big part of the show. 
 
 But what we didn't expect was that many would think Cher was lip syncing her Billboard Music Awards performance.

 People on Twitter are seriously wondering if this 1960s icon was lip syncing during this evening's performance of “Believe.”

 Elite Daily reached out to Cher's reps for comment on her performance this evening, but hadn't yet received a response at the time of publication. 
 
 Just to clarify, these are comments circulating on Twitter. 
 
 Cher is lip syncing for her life rn #BBMAs — bree☽ (@breelax) May 22, 2017 
 
 This Twitter user seems convinced Cher was lip syncing. 
 
 About 1000% sure Cher is lip syncing rn, but it's okay, because this is an anthem so just play the track… #BBMAs — Black Nora Ephron (@shitonconcrete) May 22, 2017 
 
 She appeared to be singing live during her second performance of the night, “If I Could Turn Back Time,” and totally slayed it. Because she's Cher, of course, and we all love her endlessly. 
 
 Fans also praised Cher on Twitter. 
 
 Everybody was rocking, because Cher is queen. 
 
 Korean pop band BTS is literally all of us in the above video, am I right? 
 
 The 71-year-old singer has been performing for 50 years, and has never failed to inspire us all with her impeccable vocal skills. 
 
 An impressive 100 million of Cher's records have been sold around the world. In addition, Cher is currently the one and only artist to achieve a “number-one” Billboard chart single, every 10 years since the 60s. 
 
 This amazing performer has received a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, a Cannes Film Festival Award, a CFDA Fashion Award, and three Golden Globe Awards in addition to other achievements. 
 
 It's definitely clear as to why Cher is known as the “Goddess of Pop.” This woman knows how to entertain the fans!

 The pop veteran, 71, wore nipple pasties under a barely-there diamante dress for her turn on stage at the prize-giving Sunday night. 
 
 Cher wowed the crowd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as she performed her hit track “Believe” in the skimpy outfit. 
 
 The dress featured diamante bands that barely covered her breasts and her crotch. 
 
 Underneath the raunchy gown, she wore nipple pasties and fishnet tights to preserve her modesty. 
 
 It marked her first performance at an awards show in 15 years. 
 
 During the event, Cher went on to pick up an Icon Award and she returned to the stage in a raunchy black catsuit to sing “If I Could Turn Back Time.” 
 
 Accepting the Billboard Icon Award from Gwen Stefani, Cher said: “So, I wanted to do what I do since I was 4 years old, and I’ve been doing it for 53 years. 
 
 “That is not an applause thing, I’m 71 yesterday! And I can do a five-minute plank, okay? Just saying.” 
 
 The sheer number featured well-placed sequin panels that helped keep her somewhat covered up. 
 
 Many fans were thrilled to see Cher sporting her trademark sexy outfits despite being in her 70s, but TV host Piers Morgan was not impressed. 
 
 Speaking on today’s “Good Morning Britain,” he said: “At what point do Cher’s outfits become inappropriate? She’s 70.” 
 
 Co-host Susanna Reid said: “Oh yes because you have a cutoff, don’t you? What is it … 59?” 
 
 Piers clarified it was 56, before highlighting Cher’s silver outfit, adding: “That one in particular, come on, Cher, for goodness’ sake, love.”

 Divas dominated the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas Sunday Night. Céline Dion delivered a moving performance of “My Heart Will Go On” in an epic white gown. And Cher accepted her ICON award and performed in outfits reminiscent of her epic ’80s tour costumes. 
 
 Cher, who turned 71 Saturday and received a slew of birthday messages (including one from Kim Kardashian on her social media channels, where she shared her top nine Cher style moments), made her return to the awards show stage after a 15 year hiatus performing her ’90s anthem “Believe” and her 1989 smash hit “If I Could Turn Back Time” of her nineteenth album, Heart of Stone. 
 
 For “Believe” she opened in glittering fringe dress layered over a crystal bra and won with heart pasties and a blonde wig with pink dip-dyed ends.

 Then she surprised everyone when she came out in her iconic “If I Could Turn Back Time” outfit including the sheer thong bodysuit, leather jacket, garter belt and epic wig. And at 71, she can still totally pull it off.

 And while she looks amazing, the singer said in her recent cover story with Billboard that she isn’t quite fond of aging. 
 
 “I don’t like getting old,” she said. “I’m shocked that I can still run across the stage at my age. I thought I’d be dead!”

– Cher is 71, but that didn't stop her from rocking nipple pasties and a thong at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards. The pop diva first performed "Believe" wearing pasties under a "dress" that was basically made up entirely of glittery fringe. She then took to the stage a second time to sing "If I Could Turn Back Time" while wearing the same black thong bodysuit she wore in the original music video, People reports. The performances marked her first time performing at an awards show in 15 years, Page Six reports. She also received an Icon Award at the Las Vegas event. See pictures of both outfits in our gallery. (But did she lip sync the performance?)
