Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen are at the forefront of the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Award nominations, each receiving 10 nominations. Following closely behind are Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and Post Malone, each with nine nominations.
The iHeartRadio Music Awards are designed to honor the most played artists of the year on its stations and app. This year's show will also pay tribute to Los Angeles in the wake of the wildfires and drive donations to FireAidLA.org.
FireAidLA.org is hosting a star-studded benefit concert for wildfire relief, featuring artists such as Billie Eilish, Stevie Wonder, Green Day, and Joni Mitchell. Contributions from ticket sales and donations to FireAidLA.org will be managed by the Annenberg Foundation to support short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives aimed at preventing future fire disasters.
The iHeartRadio Music Awards show is not a competition, but rather a night to celebrate the artists and songs that fans have loved throughout the year. This year's show will also focus on supporting the communities affected by the tragic events in Los Angeles.
At the upcoming awards show, Lady Gaga will be honored with the innovator award for her significant impact on music and global culture. Mariah Carey will receive the icon award in recognition of her record-breaking career.
In addition to her nominations, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour will be recognized as the 'tour of the century,' a new award category introduced this year.
Fans have the opportunity to vote in various categories, including best lyrics, best music video, favorite tour style, favorite soundtrack, and more. Social voting is now open at iHeartRadio.com/awards and will close on March 10 at 11:59 p.m. PDT for all categories.
For the coveted song of the year award, nominees include tracks from Shaboozey, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Post Malone, Morgan Wallen, Doja Cat, Benson Boone, Tate McRae, Teddy Swims, Jack Harlow, and Hozier.
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards ceremony will be broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17 at 8 p.m. EDT on FOX. The event will also be aired on iHeartRadio stations nationwide and on the app.
