Taylor Swift cleaned up at Sunday’s iHeartRadio Awards and to top things off performed with pop legend Madonna. The young singer provided guitar accompaniment for Madonna’s performance of “Ghosttown,” the new single from the icon’s latest album Rebel Heart.
Definitely the strongest performance of the evening!
Madonna later had the honor of presenting Swift with the song of the year award for “Shake It Off,” and Swift politely thanked “Madonna for being Madonna.” The “Style” songbird also picked up awards for artist of the year, song of the year for “Shake It Off,” and best lyrics for “Blank Space.”
“More than anything in the world, I just hope that any of the fans watching know how much I adore you … we’ve gotten closer and closer with each year, not further apart,” an emotional Taylor Swift said at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. “Like, you make me so happy.”
