Taylor Swift to Attend the 2026 iHeart Radio Awards

Taylor Swift will be appearing at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, held on March 26 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Swift is up for nine awards this year, the most of any nominee, including Artist of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, and more. “The Fate of Ophelia,” off last year’s The Life of a Showgirl, is up for five nominations: Song of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Favorite TikTok Dance, Best Lyrics, and Best Music Video.

The Life of a Showgirl has been breaking records since its release last fall. “The Fate of Ophelia” is Swift’s longest-running Number One hit, while it was recently revealed that the album itself helped U.S. vinyl sales surpass $1 billion for the first time since 1983. When the single “Opalite” hit Number One, it marked the first time since 1989 that she had two Number One singles off the same album. “I know that’s a lot of numbers,” she said. “But it all adds up to me being so thankful to the fans who helped make this happen by welcoming this song into your lives with open arms.” 

In addition to Swift, John Mellencamp will also appear at the iHeartRadio Music Awards to perform and be honored with the 2026 iHeartRadio Icon Award. Olympian Alysa Liu, Nikki Glaser, sombr, Weezer, Nicole Scherzinger, and more will also appear.

Performers at the iHeart Radio Awards include Kehlani, Alex Warren, Raye, Lainey Wilson, En Vogue, Salt-N-Pepa, and TLC. Ludacris will host. The ceremony will air live on Fox.
