This year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards features some big performances and even bigger winners. The most celebrated names in music came together for the star-studded show on Thursday, and a lucky few walked away with the coveted trophies.
Going into Thursday’s show, Megan Thee Stallion led the pack with a grand total of eight nominations across seven different categories, while Roddy Ricch came in next with seven nominations — including three separate noms in the Hip-Hop Song of the Year category alone.
The Weeknd — who just won big at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday — was also recognized with an impressive six nominations, including Song of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. Harry Styles was nominated for six awards as well, going up against The Weeknd for the show’s two biggest awards.
Apart from the categories in contention, Elton John is set to receive the 2021 iHeartRadio Icon Award, which will be presented by Chris Martin and Lil Nas X. The award will also include a special tribute performance honouring the iconic singer and his impact on pop culture and his continued relevance as a touring and radio force with a loyal fan base worldwide.
Check out the full list of winners and nominees below, which will be updated throughout the night, in bold, as the show goes on.
