Taylor Swift shines in showgirl-worthy corset on iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026 red carpet
This showgirl’s ready for her stage.
Taylor Swift made her first awards show appearance of the year at Thursday’s iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026, hitting the red carpet at LA’s Dolby Theatre wearing a mint green corset and matching miniskirt by Wiederhoeft, along with Jimmy Choo sandals in the same soft shade.
Her bustier top included visible boning, shimmering beadwork and playful fringe that were perfectly in line with the aesthetic of her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Swift wore her hair in a half-up style and swapped her signature red lipstick for a soft, glossy pink. She finished her look with dazzling Dena Kemp earrings set with bi-color tourmalines, a Nak Armstrong ear cuff, rings from Selim Mouzannar and L’Dezen — and her massive engagement ring from fiancé Travis Kelce, who joined her at the show.

She’s this year’s most-nominated artist with a total of nine nods, including for artist of the year, pop artist of the year, favorite tour style (for the Eras Tour) and song of the year for “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Swift has attended the iHeartRadio Music Awards a number of times over the years — most recently in 2023, when she accepted the Innovator Award in a crystal-covered hooded jacket, pants and boots from Alexandre Vauthier Couture that lent the look of a jumpsuit.
In 2019, she embodied her “Lover” aesthetic in an iridescent sequined Rosa Bloom romper paired with butterfly-adorned Sophia Webster sandals. She took home two awards during the ceremony: tour of the year (for her “Reputation” stadium tour) and best music video (for “Delicate”).
She also attended the show in 2016, sporting a sleek black sequined Saint Laurent and a blunt-cut bob and taking home the awards for artist of the year, song of the year (for “Shake It Off”) and best lyrics (for “Blank Space”).

And Swift made her iHeartRadio Music Awards debut in 2015, hitting the step-and-repeat in a shimmering black cutout minidress from Kaufman Franco before performing alongside Madonna and scooping up three statuettes during the show.
More than a decade later, the superstar still knows how to make a dramatic entrance.
