Between artists and winners, the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards held Monday night (April 1) at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles was a star-studded event.
Justin Timberlake kicked off the show for the artists, starting the show with “Selfish” and “No Angels,” both from his just-released sixth album. Everything I thought I was. Other performers included Ludacris, who also served as host for the night, as well as Green Day, Jelly Roll with Lainey Wilson, Tate McRae and TLC, who recruited Latto to replace the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes on their “ “Waterfalls.” rap verse.
Cher also took the stage when she received the Icon Award, presented by Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep. Jennifer Hudson paid tribute to Cher by singing her 1989 hit “If I Could Turn Back Time,” before Cher joined Hudson on stage for the 1998 hit “Believe.”
And that was just the artists: We also saw SZA, Ice Spice, and Fall Out Boy take the stage to accept awards, as well as a video message from the night's Artist of the Year, Taylor Swift.
Beyoncé was also present to accept the Innovator Award from Stevie Wonder. “Innovation begins with a dream, and the road to executing that dream can be very bumpy,” Bey said in her heartfelt acceptance speech. “Being innovative is doing what everyone thinks is impossible. Being an innovator often means being criticized, which will often test your mental fortitude. Being innovative is leaning on faith and trusting that God will catch you and guide you.”
