Taylor Swift is once again at the top of the music world. She is leading the nominations for the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards with nine nominations. This makes her the most-nominated artist of the year.
The iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrate the most-played songs and artists on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app. These plays are counted across the whole year of 2025. The award show will air live on March 26, 2026. It will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Fans can watch the show on Fox.
As per USA Today reports, Taylor Swift received nominations in many top categories. These include Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year. Her hit song “The Fate of Ophelia” is nominated for Song of the Year and Pop Song of the Year. The same song is also up for several fan-voted awards, like Best Lyrics, Best Music Video, and Favorite TikTok Dance.
Her concert film, “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era,” is also nominated. It is competing for Favorite On Screen, which is another fan-voted category. The movie streams on Disney+. It shows the final part of her historic Eras Tour and marks the end of a very important chapter in her career.
Last year, Taylor Swift received the Tour of the Century honor at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. She did not attend in person. Instead, she sent a recorded message and a special performance. In her speech, she called the tour the hardest and also the most rewarding thing she has ever done.
That success has continued into 2026. “The Fate of Ophelia” recently became her longest-running No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. It passed her earlier hit “Anti-Hero.” The song returned to No. 1 for its ninth nonconsecutive week. Her album “The Life of a Showgirl” has also stayed strong. It has now spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Taylor Swift has a long history with the iHeartRadio Music Awards. She has won 19 awards and earned over 50 nominations since the show began. With her 2026 nominations, she once again proves why she remains one of the biggest artists in music today.
