Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.
“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17, with LL Cool J serving as a host.

]]>The post Doechii Drops Visualizer for New Single “Anxiety” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Doechii originally performed “Anxiety” in a music session on her YouTube channel in 2019, but it took years for its studio version to see the light of day. She addressed her fans by writing, “Swamp, I heard y’all loud n clear!” and shared a visualizer that features two mirrored black-and-white images of herself, connected by her braids.
The song samples Gotye’s megahit “Somebody That I Used to Know” ft. Kimbra, and it started trending on TikTok in recent weeks, inspiring Doechii to seize the moment and drop it as a single. A sample of “Anxiety” was previously featured on Sleepy Hallow’s track of the same name from 2023.
Doechii didn’t have a huge following when “Anxiety” was first released, but her fans rediscovered it as her star rose in recent months. She made quite a splash with her latest mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which won her a Grammy Award for the best rap album and produced hit singles “Nissan Altima” and “Denial Is a River”.

]]>Lisa’s debut solo album Alter Ego created more commotion than any other this week. The Blackpink singer has given us several epic collaborations ahead of its release, and the new track “Rapunzel” feat. Megan Thee Stallion may just be among its best.
This week has been pretty slow for major album releases, but our favorite indie artists have been pretty busy. No new album impressed us more than Banks’ Off with Her Head, and “Delulu” is one of its best songs. Panda Bear made the cut with “Praise” from Sinister Grift, while Architects rocked our world with “Brain Dead” ft. House of Protection from The Sky, the Earth & All Between.

]]>Grande and Erivo recently co-starred in the hit musical Wicked and both received Oscar nominations for their respective performances. They’ll reportedly open the ceremony with a medley of the biggest hits from this film, but this rumor hasn’t been officially confirmed by the Academy.
Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye, who recently collaborated on the song “Born Again” from Lisa’s debut solo album Alter Ego, will also perform at the Oscars. The hip-hop legend Queen Latifah will be a part of the show, which will feature “showstopping performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends.”
“El Mal” and “Mi Camino” from Emilia Pérez, “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, ”Like a Bird” from Sing Sing, and “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late are in the running for the best original song, but they won’t be performed during the show, as a response to the Los Angeles wildfires that devastated California last month.
The 2025 Academy Awards will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Conan O’Brien hosting the show.

]]>An artist becomes eligible for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording, and many of this year’s candidates happen to be first-timers. That happens to be the case with the English rock supergroup Bad Company, blues-rockers The Black Crowes, early rock n’ roll legend Chubby Checker, blues singer Joe Cocker, punk rocker Billy Idol, Mexican rockers Maná, and hip-hop duo Outkast.
The list of 14 acts vying for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction also includes the powerhouse singer Mariah Carey, post-punk pioneers Joy Division/New Order, dance-pop legend Cyndi Lauper, jam band Phish, grunge hitmakers Soundgarden, the rock duo The White Stripes, and Britpop band Oasis, who recently reunited for the sold-out Oasis Live ’25 Tour.
Nominees will be voted on by a committee of 1,200 artists, historians, and music industry professionals. The Class of 2025 will be announced in late April, while the induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles this fall.

]]>No song this week created more commotion than Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra”, which she dropped right after the Grammy Awards. This catchy track marks the glorious return to her dance-pop roots, and she used it to set the stage for her upcoming album Mayhem.
Lady Gaga isn’t the only artist to celebrate her Grammy success by dropping a brand-new track. So did Doechii, who shared her new single “Nosebleeds” shortly after winning the award for the best rap album for Alligator Bites Never Heal.
K-pop star Lisa set the stage for her debut solo studio album Alter Ego with her most star-studded collaboration yet. She partnered up with Doja Cat and Raye for the catchy new single “Born Again”.
