The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards brought together some of the biggest names in music for a star-studded night at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre, with Taylor Swift emerging as the clear standout. The “The Fate of Ophelia” singer took home multiple awards, including Artist of the Year, capping off one of the night’s most dominant runs. She also made headlines for her appearance alongside fiancé Travis Kelce, who showed his support from the audience during the couple’s first major awards show outing together.
In addition to the headline-making wins, the ceremony spotlighted a wide range of artists who have shaped the past year in music. Sabrina Carpenter and Alex Warren were among the major winners, while performers like Warren, RAYE, Lainey Wilson and Kehlani took the stage throughout the night.
