NEW YORK — The iHeartRadio Music Awards should be called the iHeartTaylorSwift Awards. The pop singer cleaned house at the show Sunday, winning artist of the year and song of the year for "Shake It Off," and even assisted Madonna by strumming her guitar onstage while the pop icon sang a new song.
"More than anything in the world, I just hope that any of the fans watching know how much I adore you ... we've gotten closer and closer with each year, not further apart," a glossy-eyed Swift said at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. "Like, you make me so happy." The pop star also won best lyrics for her other hit song, "Blank Space."
Madonna, whose recent awards show performances were energetic and upbeat, toned it down when singing "Rebel Heart" while Swift played guitar next to her.
"My favorite guitar player, yeah!" Madonna said as she presented Swift with song of the year. — AP
