The latest star-studded ceremony is now well underway as A-list attendees descend on the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The 13th annual award show, which is being hosted by rapper Ludacris, is airing live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

It celebrates the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the app throughout 2025 as well as offering a preview of the upcoming hits of 2026. 

Taylor Swift will be back in the spotlight tonight after accepting the invite to what will be her first award show appearance this year.

The main event is also set to feature special appearances by Alysa Liu, Ne-Yo, Nicole Scherzinger, Nikki Glaser, sombr, Weezer and more.

But there will be plenty of other big names hitting the red carpet. 

Every year, the high-profile event has its fair share of fashion hits and misses, and this evening's gathering is no different.
