The stars were out in full force last night (Thursday, March 26th 2026) at the prestigious iHeartRadio Music Awards at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre, with Taylor Swift, Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson rubbing shoulders during the celebratory evening.
The trio of chart-toppers stopped for a momentous photo during the evening, with Swift and Langley also spotted throughout the night chatting and spending time together.
What's more, when Swift won Artist of the Year - one of her seven awards over the course of the evening - the pop phenom made a point of embracing her fiancé, Travis Kelce, Sombr and then, heartwarmingly, Langley, who was sat a few seats away from her.
We're keeping our fingers crossed there could be a blockbuster collaboration in the works between Swift and Langley - and, in an ideal world, featuring Wilson as well.
Wilson treated the packed-out California crowd to an electrifying medley of her most beloved hits, including ‘Wildflowers and Wild Horses’, ‘Hang Tight Honey’ and ‘Heart Like a Truck’.
The Louisiana native returned to the stage elsewhere in the evening to present Miley Cyrus with the Innovator Award, citing the trailblazing artist as one of her “biggest inspirations”.
Wilson, who attended Cyrus’ Hannah Montana 20th anniversary a matter of days earlier, gushed, “When fearlessness meets evolution...She keeps taking risks that most artists would not dare to take… [and that] move culture forward. Miley reminds us that artistry is not about staying comfortable. It is about staying honest. That is what you call innovation, folks”, concluding, “And that is Miley Cyrus”.
Wilson, of course, was previously a Hannah Montana impersonator early on in her career, with this serving as a touching full-circle moment for the 2025 CMA Entertainer of the Year.
