Swifties, get ready for a Taylor takeover at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards! While she won’t be performing live, the pop icon will still steal the show as iHeartRadio honors her record-shattering Eras Tour with the “Tour of the Century” award.
And here’s the big surprise—fans will be treated to an exclusive performance from the very first night of the Eras Tour! The footage, set to air during the live broadcast on March 17 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, will take viewers back to that historic opening night in Glendale, Arizona, exactly two years ago.
What Will Be Featured?

She performed 44 songs, spanning all her eras, including emotional surprise songs "Mirrorball" on guitar and "Tim McGraw" on piano. Will they pick a high-energy anthem like "Cruel Summer", or go for a fan-favorite ballad like "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)"?
