The 2016 iHeart Radio Music Awards kicked off live from The Forum in Inglewood, California on Sunday April 3 with host Jason Derulo (I bet you sang his name, didn’t you?)
The night was full of talented performances and definitely didn’t disappoint with knockout vocal showcases to killer stage sets, awesome back up dancers and of course, spectacular music. Some of the show’s highlights included DNCE’s ‘Cake by the Ocean’, Demi Lovato & Brad Paisley’s ‘Stone Cold’ and Zayn’s ‘Like I Would’.
The iHeart Radio Music Awards is certainly one of my favourites. It’s full of fun vibes and celebrations – but not for everyone.
