What are the iHeartRadio Music Awards?

The iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrate music featured across iHeartRadio channels in a given year. They essentially represent a middle ground between listening to the radio in your car and using SiriusXM. It is a music streaming service, but unlike SiriusXM, it specializes in broadcasting radio channels. The award show itself closely resembles the Billboard Music Awards.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards began in 2014 and have been held annually since. Swift holds the record for most awards at the show, having won 34 prior to the 2026 ceremony and adding at least one more to her total.
