Swizz Beatz set off the BET Awards 2011 with a swagged-out performance of his Haute Living single “Everyday (Coolin’)” outside the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. He was joined by the sexy Eve, who helped warm up the crowd before the big show.

Also during the pre-show, Miguel performed “Sure Thing,” Mindless Behavior got a hand from Young Money’s Tyga and Lil Twist, and Diggy Simmons showed off his dance moves with his debut single “Copy Paste.” Plus, Lloyd and Lil Twist catered to the ladies with their respective singles “Cupid” and “Love Affair,” and YC remixed “Racks” with Nelly.
