Taylor Swift’s showgirl era is far from over — and it’s officially taking over awards season.

The pop superstar is leading the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations with an impressive nine nods, pulling ahead of fellow chart-toppers Sabrina Carpenter, Alex Warren and Bad Bunny, who each earned eight nominations.Taylor Swift posing in a red, one-shoulder dress with matching heels and earrings.

Swift, 36, is coming off a whirlwind year marked by the release of her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and her headline-making engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce — developments fans have been eagerly tracking through Page Six live updates.

For this year’s awards, Swift landed major nominations including Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year.

Her breakout hit, “The Fate of Ophelia,” proved especially dominant, scoring nominations for Song of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Best Lyrics, and Best Music Video. The track also earned a nod in a brand-new 2026 category: Favorite TikTok Dance — further cementing its cultural impact.

Beyond music, Swift’s visual projects also made waves. The “Eras Tour” concert film and her upcoming docuseries, “The End of an Era,” were both nominated for Favorite On-Screen Project, while the Eras Tour itself is up for Favorite Tour Style.

Swift notably skipped last year’s ceremony, despite being nominated for 10 awards. She still walked away a winner, taking home Pop Album of the Year for “The Tortured Poets Department” and the prestigious Tour of the Century honor.

In a video acceptance speech, the singer thanked fans, calling the Eras Tour one of the most meaningful experiences of her career.

The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards are set to take place on March 26, and all eyes will once again be on Swift as her showgirl era continues to shine.
