The 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place on Thursday, March 14, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The ceremony aired live on Fox, iHeartMedia radio stations, and on iHeartRadio.

The winner of The Masked Singer, T-Pain, hosted the awards show. In his opening monologue, he made jokes about Taylor Swift’s height and how he once head-butted her boobs since he is shorter than she is, and he also told Garth Brooks to give him a call if he ever wants to start a band called “Dad Bods.” Later in the program, he came out wearing his infamous fuzzy monster costume to sing a bit of “Blame It (On the Alcohol).”

There were many great performances throughout the night. Halsey, wearing a black leather dress and sporting long pink hair, opened up the show with “Without Me” and “11 Minutes,” the latter featuring Yungblud and drummer Travis Barker.

Kacey Musgraves beautifully performed “Rainbow,” while Coldplay’s Chris Martin accompanied her on piano. She sang while seated on a large, lighted rainbow, and the audience in front of the stage waved their arms while wearing blue light-up bracelets.

Other highlights included John Legend singing “Preach” with a gospel choir; the Backstreet Boys doing “No Place” and “I Want It That Way”; Alicia Keys performing “Raise a Man” with some help on piano from her 8-year-old son, Egypt; and the Artist of the Decade, Garth Brooks, playing a rousing medley of his hits “The Thunder Rolls” and “Friends in Low Places.”

Celebrity presenters included Chris Pratt, Steven Tyler, Katy Perry, Elle Fanning, Jamie and Corinne Foxx, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Bebe Rexha, Maren Morris, and Shay Mitchell.
