Music superstar Taylor Swift scored a leading seven trophies at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday including artist of the year and best pop album for the upbeat record “The Life of a Showgirl.”
In one of her moments on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Swift encouraged artists to give themselves time to learn a craft without seeking immediate feedback on the Internet. The singer said she had spent “thousands of hours” as a teenager playing her guitar, writing songs, making mistakes and learning from them – in private.
“I’m a firm believer that anything you feed your mind, it will internalize, and anything you feed the Internet it will attempt to kill,” she said as she held the album of the year trophy. “And I don’t want that for your dreams.”
Swift, who wore a seafoam green velvet corset and matching miniskirt with light pink bead accents, also took home awards including song of the year and best music video for “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Olympic figure skating gold medalist Alysa Liu presented the artist of the year award to Swift, who gushed about Liu’s Olympic performance. “You brought me so much happiness,” Swift said.
Earlier, Swift told the crowd that “Showgirl” was inspired by the positivity she felt from fans on her record-breaking Eras Tour.
“The album came out with this energy of just feeling really happy and strong and confident and free. And so I want to say thank you to the fans for giving me that feeling,” Swift said.
