There's nothing I love more than a good live performance of one of my favorite songs. So, to celebrate some of our iHeartRadio Music Award nominees ahead of Thursday night's show I pulled together some of their iconic live performances from years past! Watch performances from Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak, and so many more Thursday May 27th at 8pm ET live on FOX!
1. Doja Cat
She performed her breakout hit "Say So" for the 2021 MTV European Music Awards. Sans-audience, but the grungy, rock-inspired take on her viral hit is for sure an excellent performance. And that set though!!
2. Ariana Grande
"God is a woman" will always be one of Ari's best songs, the rule is: whenever its on, you turn it all the way up and leave it on repeat for a while. Her performance at the 2018 VMAs was no exception to that rule. Its a visual and vocal masterpiece and deserves to be enjoyed in all its glory.
3. The Weeknd
Although we hosted our iHeartRadio Jingle Ball virtually last year, that didn't stop The Weeknd from de! liver! ing! His performance of "Save Your Tears" was soooo good, I can't even imagine what Ari will add to it when they hit the stage on Thursday night.
4. Harry Styles
He's got five total nominations, including one for Male Artist of the Year and his performance at our 2020 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball gave nothing but Cali vibes. We were FULLY transported the second we saw that camper...and then Harry started singing too!
5. Taylor Swift
A living legend! She's up for Female Artist of the Year and the #Swifties could very well take home the trophy for Best Fan Army too. Can't stop thinking about her performance at iHeartRadio's Wango Tango back in 2019.
