Taylor Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce make their awards show debut at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards months before wedding
Taylor Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce finally made their awards show debut on Thursday.
The superstar, 36, and the football player, 36, cut a glamorous pair while attending the star-studded 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
The duo skipped the red carpet but cozied up inside as they posed for photos.
Swift is the most-nominated artist this year with a total of nine nods, including Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for The Fate of Ophelia, from her hit 2025 record, The Life of a Showgirl.
It is a fitting coincidence that Swift’s first awards show outing of the year falls on the ceremony’s 13th anniversary, with fans speculating that the superstar might again use her lucky number to drop a major announcement.
She famously announced her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, during her 13th Grammy win back in 2024.
The 13th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrate the year’s most-streamed hits and artists across both the iHeartRadio app and the network’s vast broadcasting stations.The ceremony, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, is hosted by Ludacris, who is also set to be honored with the iHeartRadio Landmark Award.
Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny and Alex Warren follow Swift with eight nominations each. Warren is also set to receive the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award.
Other nominated artists include Lady Gaga, Benson Boone, BLACKPINK, Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Jelly Roll, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Thomas, LISA, Morgan Wallen, RAYE, SZA, GloRilla and Tate McRae.
Miley Cyrus will be honored with the Innovator Award. The prestigious honor is given to those who have made a significant impact on both the music industry and global culture through their career.
The show will see TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, and En Vogue perform together for the first time.
Other performers include Warren, Lainey Wilson, Ludacris, RAYE, Kehlani and John Mellencamp.
The Hurts So Good hitmaker will also receive the 2026 iHeartRadio Icon Award and will perform ahead of his upcoming Dancing Words Tour.
The iHeartRadio Icon Award celebrates an artist’s enduring legacy in the music industry.
His daughter, Teddi Mellencamp, is set to present him with the honor.
Fan voting will decide the winners in a number of categories, including Favorite Broadway Debut, TikTok Dance, Debut Album, and Best Lyrics.
The show will feature special appearances by Alysa Liu, Ne-Yo, Nicole Scherzinger, Nikki Glaser, sombr, Weezer and more.
‘This is an annual awards show made exclusively for fans, celebrating the biggest songs and artists they’ve loved listening to on iHeartRadio stations and our iHeartRadio app all year long,’ said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises, and Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer of iHeartMedia.
