Taylor Swift News: Singer Wins iHeartMusic Awards for Best Tour, Pours out Heart in Thanksgiving Speech
Taylor Swift is on a roll. After winning the Grammy two months back, the pop queen is again in the news. She has won the award for best tour at the 2016 iHearts Music Awards which was held on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The 26-year-old bagged the award for her super successful 1989 world tour. She also won the trophy for female artist of the year, beating her bestie Selena Gomez, Adele and other popular names. And to add more cheer to her achievement was beau Calvin Harris' victory who bagged the award for dance artist of the year.
But more than the awards, it was the couple's cutesy expression of love that grabbed the attention of the audience. While making her thanksgiving speech, Swift was all praises for boyfriend Harris and gushes about his presence in her life. Referring to him by his real name (Adam Richard Wiles), she said that Adam is an amazing person and she is extremely thankful to return home to him, when the crowds are gone and the spotlight has vanished.
She looked every bit moon-eyed and madly in love during the address which was pleasantly surprising because the couple is not known for their PDAs, a normal ritual with celebrities. Even when Harris was on stage, she could be seen gazing at him with an expression that had love written all over it. Like a coy teenager, she smiled and clutched her face, at hearing lovely words from her boyfriend.
Justin Timberlake played host at the Sunday night award ceremony and introduced Taylor, playing jokes about her squad, as per sources. Enumerating her mind-blowing achievements and accomplishments, he said that she has won 250 awards and is also a Guinness Book of World Records holder, wondering how is it mathematically possible.
In jest, he also said that she will be participating in the upcoming Rio Olympics for Pole Vault and is a favorite to win.
