Taylor Swift has won Artist of the Year at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
The singer also nabbed Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year for Life of a Showgirl, and Pop Song of the Year for The Fate of Ophelia.<\/p>\n
“I think that this album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fianc\u00e9, who’s here tonight,” Swift gushed as she accepted her award on stage.<\/p>\n
Fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce clapped and mouthed “I love you” to Swift on the stage.<\/p>\n
Song of the Year went to Ordinary for Alex Warren, who also bagged the Best New Artist (Pop) award.<\/p>\n
