The Iheart Awards, aimed at rewarding the most listened to artists on US radios, celebrated a new edition last night in Los Angeles. The clear protagonists of the night were Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey, who took the innovation and icon awards respectively, and entertained the gala with their words and reactions.
Lady Gaga decided to celebrate “authenticity” by collecting the Innovation Award, delivered by Doechii. When climbing the lectern, Gaga decided to speak from the heart: “If I have learned something in these three decades, it is that the most powerful innovation is your authenticity.”
After dedicating a few words to the “courage” of the LGTBIQ+community, he decided to send a message to the “different” artists: “The world does not need another copy. He desperately needs original, ”he concluded.
The other great diva of the night was Mariah Carey, who received the icon prize and enjoyed a Medley dedicated to his career starring Muni Long and Tori Kelly. The Viral Momentazo arrives with the ‘We Belong Together’ version of Long, when Carey is caught putting a face that only she can do. It is already a meme. He also honored the prize he received being iconic: «Is lighting right? Because I don’t like bad lighting ».
The gala, which was presented by LL Cool J, also included the performances of Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish (who won the album award of the year), Glorilla, Gracie Abrams, Kenny Chesney and Nelly. On the other hand, Taylor Swift received the award on the tour of the century by The Eras Tour, in addition to being appointed artist of the year.
