iHeartRadio Awards

Gabby Barrett leads the country nominees at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Country music represented in a strong way at the annual all-genre awards show.

Kelly Clarkson had a pretty big weekend planned, so she knew she'd better get some rest before Sunday's iHeartRadio Music Awards. The 32-year-old singer was booked to perform her "Heartbeat Song" at the show, so naturally, she needed a pre-performance nap.

The 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place on Sunday night (March 29), and country was well represented — perhaps surprisingly so — in terms of both performances and awards handed out.

Taylor Swift owned the night at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 29). The singer took home three awards, including Artist of the Year, and was pretty much a part of every joke or performance.

Taylor Swift won Song of the Year honors at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 29) with her massive hit, "Shake It Off."

Brantley Gilbert looked legitimately stunned by his win at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 29). The "One Hell of an Amen" singer took home the Renegade trophy, topping a field of pop stars.

Jason Aldean performed his white-hot hit "Burnin' It Down" on the 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 29).

Jason Aldean accepted the Country Song of the Year award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 29), and then gave a shoutout to his kids, the "Burnin' It Down" co-writers and his new wife. It was the couple's first public appearance since getting married in Mexico last weekend.

Kelly Clarkson took the stage at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards Sunday night (March 29) to perform "Heartbeat," the lead single from her new album, Piece By Piece.
