Olivia Rodrigo, Foo Fighters, Silk Sonic, Lil Nas X and The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber were the big winners at Tuesday’s iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Rodrigo was named Female Artist of the Year—Lil Nas got the male prize—in addition to Best New Pop Artist and the fan-elected TikTok Bop of the Year. Foo Fighters swept the rock categories (artist, album and single), while Silk Sonic nabbed two R&B awards (album and song) and was named Best Duo/Group.
The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s "Stay" was honored with the iHeartRadio Chart Ruler Award and for Best Collaboration. Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” was named Song of the Year.
Host LL Cool J opened the show with a medley that included stone classic “Mama Said Knock You Out.” Best New Alternative Artist Måneskin played “Beggin” and “I Wanna Be Your Slave.” Billy Porter introduced Icon Award winner Jennifer Lopez, who performed “On My Way” and “Get Right.” John Legend and Charlie Puth engaged in a piano duel, playing each other’s hits.
