She highlighted the exceptional year she’s had, largely thanks to the support from iHeartRadio and her dedicated fanbase.

Swift, who also secured the pop artist of the year and tour of the year awards, didn’t miss the chance to acknowledge her fans’ role in the success of her groundbreaking Eras Tour. She teased, “We have so many exciting things ahead of us.

I’m continuing on with the tour and, most importantly, I have a brand new album called ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ which comes out on April 19. I cannot wait to share it with you.”

Leading the nominations at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Swift was a formidable presence with nine nominations in total. Her chart-topping hit “Cruel Summer” was in the running for song of the year, pop song of the year, and TikTok bop of the year, showcasing the song’s broad appeal and viral success.

 Additionally, a track from her re-recorded album “1989 Taylor’s Version,” titled “Is It Over Now? Taylor’s Version,” was acknowledged in the best lyrics category.

Swift’s accolades at the iHeartRadio Music Awards come during the second year of her epic Eras Tour, which has seen the singer revisiting her extensive discography to the delight of fans worldwide.

The re-recording of her 2014 album “1989” not only debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart last fall but also reinforced Swift’s dominance in the music industry. 

The cinematic rendition of her live show, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” solidified its place as one of the highest-grossing concert films ever released, adding another feather to the cap of Swift’s illustrious career.
