Taylor Swift came into this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards as the ceremony’s top nominee, and she lived up to the expectations. She walked away with six awards by the end of the night, including the coveted artist of the year award.
Swift was nominated for nine awards this year, and only ended up losing in three categories, Most notably, she picked up the trophy for the artist of the year, beating tough competition in SZA, Drake, Miley Cyrus, Shakira, Olivia Rodrigo, Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Usher, and Morgan Wallen.
Swift also won awards for pop artist of the year, best lyrics (“Is It Over Now?”), TikTok Bop of the Year (“Cruel Summer”), tour of the year, and favorite tour style for The Eras Tour.
Despite being the night’s top winner, Swift failed to win the trophy for song of the year with “Cruel Summer”. SZA was crowned as the winner in this category with “Kill Bill”, beating the likes of Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, and Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”.
