Will Taylor Swift appear and perform at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards?

The iHeartRadio Music Awards are happening on Thursday, March 26th, with a fantastic lineup of performers. Many fans are wondering if Taylor Swift will be there, and if she’ll be taking the stage to perform.

Taylor Swift will be attending the iHeartRadio awards, as she’s nominated for nine awards. However, she won’t be performing. This will be her first awards show appearance in person in 2026, since she wasn’t a nominee at this year’s Grammys.

Okay, so here’s the deal with that. Her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, came out too late to be considered for any awards this year. The eligibility window had already closed. I’m already looking forward to 2027 though – that’s when it’ll likely get some recognition!

Taylor Swift has received nine nominations for the iHeartRadio Awards. She’s up for Song of the Year and Artist of the Year, as well as Pop Artist and Pop Song of the Year for “The Fate of Ophelia.” Fans will also be voting for her in several categories, including Favorite TikTok Dance, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video, Favorite On-Screen Moment, and Favorite Tour Style.

It’s still unclear if Travis Kelce will join Taylor Swift at her events. With the NFL season over, Kelce isn’t currently playing, so he might be free to attend. However, he could be busy recording his podcast with his brother, Jason. It’s really anyone’s guess at this point.

There’s a chance Taylor Swift might perform, so be sure to watch the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26th at 8 pm ET on FOX! You can also stream the show on Hulu + Live TV, YouTubeTV, or FuboTV.

Ludacris will host the show and be honored with the 2026 iHeartRadio Landmark Award. Confirmed performers include Alex Warren, Lainey Wilson, Ludacris, John Mellencamp, and RAYE. Plus, TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, and En Vogue will perform together for the very first time!
