Taylor Swift Accepts The Pop Album Of The Year Award At The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards

It's so nice to be here. Ray giving this to me is so cool because I'm a massive fan of hers. It's just like... I didn't know. Just everything you do is so interesting and I'm a massive fan. But we actually got to tour together on The Heiress Tour, which... Thank you. And also just being here with fans, with people who clearly love music so much. The album The Life of a Showgirl was really inspired by the energy that I felt looking into crowds and seeing you guys and connecting with you every single night. And so the album came out with this energy of just feeling really happy and strong and confident and free. And so I want to say thank you to the fans for giving me that feeling when I was... This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that's the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who's here tonight. So thanks for all the vibes. I really just wanted to say thank you also to iHeart and thank you to anyone who cared about the fate of Ophelia because you made that into the biggest hit of my career, which is crazy at this point. And thank you. I love my fans so much for giving me the ability to do this. I love what I do. I love that you've allowed me to do it for this long and I just appreciate every day I get to do it. Thank you so much.
