The iHeartRadio Music Awards are back!
As we all remember, the 2020 live TV broadcast event of the iHeartRadio Music Awards on FOX was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year's winners were revealed for the first time on-air throughout Labor Day weekend across iHeartRadio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio App. The 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, however, will be airing LIVE from The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 27 on FOX.
