Taylor Swift kicked off National Poetry Month in style by clinching the prestigious Artist of the Year award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The renowned singer-songwriter, known for her lyrical prowess, was celebrated for her outstanding contributions to the music industry during the past year.

Although Swift did not grace the yellow carpet or attend the awards show at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, her presence was felt as she received accolades from peers and fans alike.

The award was presented by Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean and *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, who commended Swift for her musical achievements.

In a recorded video message, Swift expressed her gratitude to her fans, acknowledging their role in shaping her career trajectory. “I wanted to say thank you so much to anyone who voted for this award,” she remarked.

“It’s completely up to you to choose how you spend your time, what concerts you want to go to, what music you want to make the soundtrack to your life, and to anyone who has included me in those choices, I’m so, so, so thankful for that.”

Swift was a frontrunner at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, garnering nine nominations and ultimately taking home three trophies.

The awards recognize the most played artists and songs over the past year, spanning various categories such as Pop Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year, and the prestigious Artist of the Year title.

This year’s win adds to Swift’s impressive track record at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where she has been a consistent presence since 2015.

Last year, she was honored with the Innovator Award, a testament to her groundbreaking contributions to the music industry.

Accepting the award in a shimmering midnight bodysuit, Swift delivered an inspiring message to her fans, urging them to embrace failure as part of the creative process.

“You have to give yourself permission to fail,” she asserted. “I try as hard as I cannot to fail because it’s embarrassing, but I do give myself permission to, and you should too.

Go easy on yourselves and just make the right choices that feel right for you, and someday, someone might think that you’ve been innovative.”

Swift’s latest album, *Era: The Tortured Poet’s Department*, is set to release in 18 days, adding to the anticipation surrounding her musical endeavors.

With her unparalleled talent and unwavering dedication to her craft, Swift continues to captivate audiences worldwide, solidifying her status as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
