Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen Lead iHeartRadio Music Awards Nominees

Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen lead the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, where Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga will receive special honors.

Swift and Wallen are up for 10 awards, followed by Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter and Post Malone, who each have nine nominations. The event will air live on March 17 on Fox from Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and the show will pay tribute to the rebuilding of Los Angeles following the devastating wildfires. 

Those competing with Swift, Wallen, Lamar, Carpenter and Malone for Artist of the Year include SZA, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Teddy Swims. Carey will receive the Icon Award at the event, where Gaga will earn the Innovator Award and Swift will receive a new award, Tour of the Century, for her groundbreaking Eras tour.

The show will also include five new socially voted awards: Favorite Soundtrack, Favorite Broadway Debut, Favorite Surprise Guest, Favorite Tour Tradition and Favorite K-pop Dance Challenge.

The 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards — which celebrates the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app throughout 2024 — will also be heard on iHeartRadio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app. The event will drive donations to Fireaidla.org and contributions will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation.
