iHeartRadio Music Awards – Dua Lipa, Silk Sonic, Olivia Rodrigo Win Big
iHeartRadio Music Awards have been handed out to a host of the music world’s biggest names, including Dua Lipa, Silk Sonic, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
Dua Lipa’s Levitating won song of the year at the 2022 iHeartRadioMusic Awards, which were presented on Tuesday (22 March) at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. LL Cool J hosted the fast-paced, two-hour show, which aired live on Fox.
Lipa wasn’t present, so the biggest category wasn’t presented on-air. But three of the other top winners were present to accept — Olivia Rodrigo for female artist of the year, Lil Nas X for male artist of the year and Silk Sonic for best duo/group of the year. It was the first win in those categories for all three artists.
