Taylor Swift is kicking off the week with some incredible news—she’s about to receive a historic honor at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards! The event, which will take place on March 17, promises to be a big night for Swift, who is nominated for an impressive 10 awards, including Artist of the Year and Best Collaboration. But that’s not all—her highly successful Eras Tour will also be celebrated in a special way, making this a milestone moment in her career.
Adding to the excitement, Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, has also landed a nomination for Favorite Surprise Guest, thanks to his appearance at her London concert. With so much happening, fans are eager to see if Swift and Kelce will make a red carpet appearance together, further fueling the buzz around their high-profile relationship.
A Night of Big Moments
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, set to be hosted by legendary rapper and actor LL Cool J, will honor the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations over the past year. In addition to Swift, other nominees for Artist of the Year include music heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, and SZA.
One of the most highly anticipated moments of the evening will be the exclusive airing of a performance from the opening night of Swift’s Eras Tour. This marks the two-year anniversary of the tour’s launch in Glendale, Arizona—a tour that went on to shatter records and become a cultural phenomenon. The broadcast will feature one of the performances from that historic night, though iHeartRadio has not yet revealed which song will be shown.
For Swifties, this is a particularly special treat. When the Eras Tour kicked off, Swift performed an incredible 44-song setlist, including special surprise songs. On the very first night, those surprise songs were Mirrorball on guitar and Tim McGraw on piano, leaving fans curious if one of these will be chosen for the broadcast.
A Record-Breaking Year for Swift
It’s no surprise that Taylor Swift is leading the nominations at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards. Over the past year, she has continued to dominate the music industry, breaking streaming records, selling out stadiums worldwide, and captivating fans with her re-recordings of past albums. Her Eras Tour alone has grossed over $2 billion, making it one of the most successful tours in history.
This year, Swift is nominated for 10 awards, highlighting both her music and her unforgettable tour moments. Her nominations include:
Pop Artist of the Year
Best Collaboration (Fortnight with Post Malone)

With so many nominations, Swift and Kelce are actually tied for the most nods this year, making it a big night for both of them.
Will Taylor and Travis Attend Together?
One of the biggest questions leading up to the awards show is whether Swift and Kelce will attend the event together. Their relationship has been the subject of widespread media attention since they first started dating, and Kelce’s nomination for Favorite Surprise Guest has only added to the speculation. If the couple makes an appearance together, it would be one of their first major red carpet outings as a pair.
Kelce has been a vocal supporter of Swift, attending multiple Eras Tour concerts and even referencing their relationship in interviews. Fans are eager to see if he will cheer her on at the awards show, especially since his nomination is directly tied to his support of her music career.
A Celebration of the Eras Tour
Beyond the awards, this event will serve as yet another celebration of Swift’s Eras Tour, which has redefined live performances in the music industry. From the elaborate stage designs to the emotional connection Swift shares with her audience, the tour has left a lasting impact on both fans and the industry.
The fact that iHeartRadio is recognizing the tour with a special Tour of the Century honor further cements its place in music history. It’s not just a concert series—it’s a cultural movement that has inspired millions.
As fans eagerly await the awards ceremony, there’s plenty to look forward to.
