Pop star Taylor Swift left fans feeling sad and disappointed during the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday night.
Swift, who has been making headlines recently due to her date nights with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, was nominated in 10 categories for the award show, including Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year.

Even before the ceremony started, it was announced that Swift had dominated several categories she was nominated for. Aside from getting the Tour of the Century recognition, she also won Favorite Tour Tradition (surprise songs), Best Lyrics and Best Music Video (“Fortnight” in collaboration with Post Malone).
Others include Favorite Tour Style (“The Eras Tour”) and Favorite On Screen (“The Eras Tour Taylor’s Version). Kelce’s cameo in her London concert back in June 2024 was also recognized as “Favorite Surprise Guest.”

Despite all the awards waiting for her, unfortunately, Swift didn’t attend the ceremony. During the broadcast of the event, Nikki Glaser confirmed the pop star’s absence, per Forbes. “I thought taylor was gonna be there,” a commenter wrote along with a crying emoji.
Another sad poster added, “We’re still waiting for her appearance.’ “I expected Taylor to attend,” a viewer noted. A disappointed follower shared, “taylor not showing up to iheart radio awards… ok… unemployed era.”
“So they just confirmed taylor won’t be there and it’s just a tour performance being shown…” another social media user posted, along with a NSFW clip of a woman going full rage mode.

“Ok so apparently it’s confirmed taylor won’t attend the iheart awards,” a sixth fan said. Taylor Swift attended the 2025 Grammys in early February, so it’s not surprising that fans really hoped that she would also show up in L.A. for the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
By the looks of it, Swift is enjoying her break and spending time with Travis Kelce.
