2026 iHeartRadio Awards: Ludacris to Receive Landmark Honor, Miley Cyrus Set for Innovator Award

‘Flowers‘ hitmaker Miley Cyrus is set to get just that from this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards as it’s been announced she will be the recipient of the 2026 Innovator Award.

As if gearing up for the highly anticipated March 24 release of the ‘Hannah Montana‘ 20th anniversary special isn’t enough to celebrate, Cyrus has learned she’s set to receive the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26.

Joining an illustrious list of hitmakers who have received the trophy previously including her ‘II Most Wanted‘ co-star Beyonce as well as Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, and more, the honor is bestowed to “artists who are continuously contributing to Pop culture and the music industry.”

Elsewhere among special honorees, Rap veteran Ludacris – who’s been tapped to host the event for the second time in three years – will not only perform but also receive the Landmark Award.

That honor is bestowed to artists whose “portfolios have shaped culture across multiple decades.”

The iHeartRadio Music Awards will air live on FOX, iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide, and on the iHeartRadio app.
