It’s Taylor Swift’s show again
Print Edition
FOR the second year in a row, the iHeartRadio Awards became the iHeartTaylorSwift show.
Not only did Swift claim three prizes, but her best friend and her boyfriend took home trophies, too.
Swift, who swept the awards last year, won the first and last prize on Sunday night — female artist and album of the year. In between, she claimed best tour honors for her star-studded “1989 World Tour,” thanking boyfriend Calvin Harris (Adam Wiles) from the stage.
“For the first time, I had the most amazing person to come home to when the spotlight went out and when the crowds were all gone,” Swift said. “So I want to thank my boyfriend Adam for that.”
Harris won dance artist of the year. Selena Gomez took the “biggest triple threat” award.
Bono and The Edge from U2 accepted the show’s Innovator Award.
“The thing that might be the most innovative about our band is we are a real band,” The Edge said. “We are still in our high school band.”
Song of the year went to Adele for “Hello.” She accepted via video from a performance in Birmingham, England. Other winners at the fan-voted show in Inglewood, California, included Fetty Wap (best new artist), Pitbull (Latin artist of the year) and Chris Brown (R&B artist of the year).
Brown thanked “everybody who supported me through all the worst times in my life and the positive times in my life.”
“I tend to not have a filter sometimes, and I go off on a lot of people,” said Brown, who has been dogged by legal troubles since pleading guilty in 2009 for beating then-girlfriend Rihanna. “But the music stays the same.”
Justin Bieber was male artist of the year and shared in the dance song of the year award with Diplo and Skrillex for “Where Are U Now.” Maroon 5 were group of the year.
