There were so many categories at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards that most of the awards were not presented on television.
The event took place on Thursday night (March 26) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Taylor Swift was the big winner of the night, taking home seven awards including her third consecutive win for Artist of the Year. She has extended her record as the most-awarded artist in iHeartRadio history with 41 wins. No one even comes close to her, so she’ll be holding that record for many years to come.
While the bulk of the awards were not handed out during the show, JustJared.com has obtained the full winners list and we can reveal who won in every category.
