iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024 LIVE — ‘What’s the point’ fans say as Taylor Swift takes home second historic award

TAYLOR Swift has won yet another award - and some fans aren't happy about her win.

The singer took home the Artist of the Year award at the iHeart Radio Music ceremony last night—a milestone that she'd hit once before in 2015.

She was unable to attend the ceremony to accept her award in person, however, and sent in a video speech instead, saying in part to fans, "Hey! I wanted to say thank you so much to anyone who voted for this award.

"iHeart, you've also just been so incredibly supportive over the course of my entire career, but especially this year has been pretty spectacular. I am so grateful for that."

While many fans were happy about her win, others were not so much, sharing their frustrations on social media.

"whats the point of having 'artist of the year' anymore?" wrote another. "shes going to win no matter what, even though there are so many more deserving artists."

Swift was previously also honored with the Female Artist of the Year award in 2016 and 2018 ahead of gender-neutral changes to the names of awards last year.
