The iHeart Radio Awards took over LA’s Shrine Auditorium earlier this week to celebrate this year’s most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app.
Hosted by LL Cool J, the show’s ninth installment included wins from a handful of Nashville’s finest artists. Superstar Luke Combs was awarded with Country Artist of the Year, while multi-Platinum entertainer Jason Aldean and multi–ACM Award winner Lainey Wilson also took home trophies. Wilson earned the award for Best New Country Artist before presenting her label and 2021 tour-mate Aldean with the Country Song of the Year Award for his multi-week No. 1, “If I Didn’t Love You” featuring Carrie Underwood.
Aldean also performed a string of his hits on the live broadcast, including “Dirt Road Anthem,” his ACM Single of the Year and Grammy nominated track “If I Didn’t Love You,” and his current top 25 single “Trouble With A Heartbreak.”
Other notable winners from the 2022 iHeart Radio Awards include Taylor Swift‘s win for Best Lyrics (“All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)”). Pop newcomer Olivia Rodrigo also took home an impressive three trophies for Best New Pop Artist presented by Stifel, TikTok Bop of the Year, and Female Artist of the Year. The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber‘s multi-week No. 1 “Stay” also nabbed two awards this year for Best Collaboration and Song of the Year.
