iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026: See Every Celebrity on the Red Carpet

Meanwhile, Alex Warren—up for eight awards, including Best New Pop Artist—had a golden night, arriving in a metallic silk shirt with a matching tie while his wife Kouvr Annon donned a strapless, white floral dress.

"Three years ago, I was here as a fan," the "Ordinary" singer quipped. "Now, it's a little different. It's pretty nuts."

But even before the Ludacris-hosted ceremony got started, awards were already being handed out. Shinedown received the Rock Artist of the Year prize on the red carpet, while Sleep Theory was surprised with a Best New Rock Artist trophy.

As for other nominees? Taylor was in good company as Alex—as well as Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny—all follow suit with eight nominations each, with their wins being determined by the fans who voted for their favorite artist in each category.

And trophies were just part of the festivities. After all, chart-topping musicians hitting the stage included Kehlani, Alex Warren, Lainey Wilson, TLC, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue.

It’s set to be a big night for Miley Cyrus, who will be presented with the Innovator Award to mark her two-decade career in music.

John Melencamp will also take home a major award for the evening as he will be celebrated with the Icon Award, joining past recipients Mariah Carey, Cher, Pink, Jennifer Lopez, Elton John and Bon Jovi.
