Το βράδυ της Δευτέρας 1 Απριλίου, διεξήχθησαν τα 11α iHeartRadio Music Awards στο Dolby Theater στο Λος Άντζελες. 10 χρόνια μετά από τη πρώτη διεξαγωγή αυτών των βραβείων (01.05.14). Πριν καν εμφανιστεί στη σκηνή ο παρουσιαστής της βραδιάς Ludacris, ήδη ανακοινώθηκαν τα πρώτα βραβεία. Οι πρώτοι νικητές ήταν οι OneRepublic, ο Tiesto και η Olivia Rodrigo.

Να αναφέρουμε ότι η Tayor Swift ηγήθηκε με τις περισσότερες υποψηφιότητες (εννέα), συμπεριλαμβανομένων των κατηγοριών: Artist of the Year, Song of the Year & Pop Artist of the Year. Οι γυναίκες καλλιτέχνες κυριάρχησαν στην τελευταία κατηγορία, καθώς η Taylor Swift ήταν υποψήφια μαζί με την Olivia Rodrigo, την Doja Cat, την Miley Cyrus και την SZA.

Η βραδιά περιέλαβε live εμφανίσεις από τους Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Justin Timberlake, Tate McRae, TLC, Green Day και τον παρουσιαστή Ludacris.

«Τα Μουσικά Βραβεία iHeartRadio είναι μια βραδιά όπου γιορτάζουμε τους μεγαλύτερους καλλιτέχνες, και τα τραγούδια που αγαπούσαν οι θαυμαστές να ακούνε στο ραδιόφωνο όλο το χρόνο», δήλωσε ο John Sykes, πρόεδρος της Entertainment Enterprises για το iHeartMedia, όταν ανακοινώθηκαν οι υποψήφιοι. «Θα μοιραστούμε επίσης ιστορίες από τους ίδιους τους καλλιτέχνες για τα σκληρά ταξίδια τους στην κορυφή των charts.»
