The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place on Monday at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, delivering a night filled with special tributes and electrifying performances.
Among the highlights were speeches from Lady Gaga, who received the Innovator Award, and Mariah Carey, honored with the Icon Award. Carey took a heartfelt moment to acknowledge her late mother, Patricia Carey, for inspiring her musical journey.
Leading this year’s nominations were Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen, each securing 10 nods, followed by Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and Sabrina Carpenter with nine nominations each. Swift, who was not present at the event, was recognized with the Tour of the Century award for her groundbreaking Eras Tour.
The ceremony, which celebrated the most-streamed songs and artists on iHeartRadio throughout 2024, was hosted by LL Cool J and featured performances from Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, and Nelly, who delivered a medley of his greatest hits after accepting the Landmark Award. Rising rap star GloRilla won Hip-Hop Artist of the Year and also took the stage for a high-energy performance.
Additionally, the show honored Los Angeles firefighters who battled devastating wildfires in January, encouraging donations to FireAidLA.org.
