Another iHeartRadio Music Awards show is in the books! The night had big wins, big performances, and big moments.
Taylor Swift led the pack with nine nominations, followed by SZA, Jelly Roll and 21 Savage with eight nominations each. SZA took home a bunch of wins too, including the last award of the night, with “Kill Bill” winning Song of the Year. Swift, meanwhile, won Artist of the Year, among other awards.
There were a ton of performances too. Ludacris, Justin Timberlake, Green Day, TLC, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and Tate McRae all graced the stage for starters!
But we can’t forget some of the big moments from the night. We break it all down below:
- Beyonce was given the Innovator Award by Stevie Wonder. She took the time to not just thank Stevie for handing over the award…but for playing the harmonica on her latest album, “Cowboy Carter,” as well! She also shared the artists who inspired her, including including Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Tracy Chapman, Linda Martell, Prince, Andre 3000, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, and Wonder
- Cher was given the Icon Award, and took the time to inspire the crowd in her acceptance speech. “Have a dream and don’t give it up no matter what happens. If you have a dream and stick with it, you will have a wonderful life and it will probably come true,” she shared. She also performed "Believe" with the help of Jennifer Hudson!
- Taylor Swift accepted Artist of the Year…but couldn’t make it to the awards show. She thanked everyone who voted for her in a video message…and teased “we have so many exciting things ahead of us.”
Katie Perry was caught going full stage-mom at the awards show, taping Tate McRae’s performance on her phone
Joja Siwa showed off a new look on the red carpet…which seemed to be inspired by the band KISS
- Latto filled in for Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes when her verse came up during TLC’s performance of “Waterfalls”
- Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson teamed up for a big performance of their duet “Save Me,” and it seemed to connect with the crowd. When they finished up their act, the crowd applauded with a standing ovation!
- Ludacris, who also hosted the big night, teamed up with T-Pain to perform “All I Do Is Win (remix)” and then went on to other hits like “Yeah!”
