Nominees in the top categories

The iHeartRadio Music Awards honor the top artists in the most popular genres of music, top songs, and most recognized albums of the year.  The “Female Artist of the Year” category is one of the most competitive of the entire awards show this year! Taylor Swift has had an incredible year after re-recording much of her music to much love and attention from fans. While Olivia Rodrigo has also been breaking records with singles like “Good for You” and “Deja Vu”, Ariana Grande continues to also get attention with her live performances. Dua Lipa and Doja Cat are also in the category.

The “Song of the Year” will also be one of the most competitive categories.  “Drivers license” was the song that cemented Olivia Rodrigo’s place in the music industry but “Easy On Me” was the song that announced that Adele had returned and continues to be on the charts today.

The duo will perform a months-long residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM starting Feb. 25

Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak are bringing their Seventies soul to Las Vegasfor An Evening with Silk Sonic. The newly announced residency is currently slated to run for 13 dates from Feb. 25 through April 2 at Park MGM’s Dolby Live.

The duo first shared the news on social media. Mars took to Twitter to plant the seeds for some early-stage FOMO, sharing: “It’s happening! The sexiest party of the year! Them Silk Sonic Boyz are performing Live in Las Vegas!”

.Paak went all-caps on Instagram for an official invitation: “THE TERMS ARE LOCKED AND VEGAS MIGHT NOT EVER BE THE SAME JACK!! YOU’RE INVITED TO THE HOTTEST SHOW IN SIN CITY!”

An Evening with Silk Sonic in Vegas will mark the pair’s first time performing full shows live since their collaborative album of the same name arrived in November. Presented by Live Nation, general on-sale for the residency begins on Friday, Jan. 21.

Silk Sonic performed the album’s lead single “Leave the Door Open” for the first time at last year’s ceremony. This year, they’re up for Record of the Year and Best R&B Performance for the track.

Speaking with Rolling Stone last summer, .Paak recalled the tone-setting conversation he had with Mars before An Evening with Silk Sonic had taken shape, saying: “I got in here, and Bruno said, ‘Look, Andy, I know you’ve done a lot of things, a lot of songs — it’s all cute, but we’re gonna do this my way and I need you to rock with me and trust me. I need you to bring your A game every night, and we’re making music to make women feel good and make people dance, and that’s it. It’s not gonna make people sad.’”
