iHeartRadio Rocks the Crowd

By Katelin Tyler, News Editor

Crank up the volume and grab your snacks because iHeartRadio is going live. On  Sunday, April 3, viewers of the annual award show had the honor to watch fame in all possible ways. Fans saw Taylor Swift in a stunning sequin jumpsuit and continue her reign with four awards. Fans also could not take their eyes off of couple Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift. The pair caught the camera’s eyes as they supported one another in their winnings.  

Taylor Swift wasn’t the only highlight of the program. Justin Bieber made quite a connection with his audience that night, as he always does. Bieber won three awards and also gave a killer performance, singing his songs “Love Yourself” and “Company.”  Bieber took the more casual approach that night and decided to wear just a sweatshirt and baggy sweatpants, and as for the hair… it must be a Canadian thing.

Selena Gomez cannot be forgotten as she won the award for triple threat. Gomez continued the red carpet trend of the jumpsuit, wearing a fiery orange jumpsuit that everybody could not stop

looking at.
