Taylor Swift is ready to learn the awards fate of "The Fate of Ophelia."
The pop superstar attended the Ludacris-hosted iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Marking her first red carpet in more then a year, Swift stepped out in a striking mint green dress. "@taylorswift is here and she's truly perfect," iHeart gushed in an Instagram post documenting her arrival.
To fans' delight, Swift was accompanied by her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The two posed for photos and mingled with the crowd before the proceedings got underway. Their night out came seven months after the couple announced their engagement. ("Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," they said in a cheeky social media post.")
Heading into iHeart ceremony, Swift was the most nominated artist of the year, scoring nods in the major categories of Artist of the Year and Song of the Year, with the latter being for "The Fate of Ophelia," the track off of last year's *The Life of a Showgirl*.
Swift is no stranger to dominating the iHeartRadio Music Awards. She won Artist of the Year in 2024 and 2025, and she's taken home the most trophies three years in a row.
Among those set to perform with Swift in the audience Thursday are Ludacris, TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, and John Mellencamp. Miley Cyrus is also the recipient of this year's Innovator Award.
