Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Ella Mai were among the biggest winners at the sixth iHeartRadio Music Awards held in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Grande received two major prizes - Artist of the Year and Pop Album of the Year at the annual award show at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
In a video tribute before a prerecorded performance of her new single "Needy", the singer said:

On receiving the award Swift said:
"I've learned a lot -- life is really unpredictable. People can make forecasts and predictions, but they may not come true if there's an unforeseeable factor involved. And in this case, that factor was my fans. I honestly owe everything in my life to you."
In addition, Swift also won the fan-voted award for Best Music Video for her song "Delicate" and teased new projects, saying "when there is new music, you will be the first to know."
