As she accepted the award for Artist of the Year at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards tonight, Taylor Swift chose not to further spotlight her hit album The Life of a Showgirl but, instead, offered some revealing advice to emerging artists. Perhaps her most poetic quote of the night soon followed: “I’m a firm believer that anything you feed your mind, it will internalize,” she told the crowd. “Anything you feed the internet, it will attempt to kill. And I don’t want that for your dreams.”
Swift arrived at the ceremony this evening with nine nominations, and by the time she took the stage for her Artist of the Year honor, she had won six awards total, including Pop Album of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video, and Favorite Tour Style. Earlier in the evening, the singer celebrated her Pop Album of the Year honor with a brief speech thanking her fans and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, who attended the awards show by her side.
Swift took more time with her Artist of the Year speech. She opened, first, by thanking presenter Alysia Liu, whom Swift said she was “so inspired” to watch perform during the 2026 Winter Olympics.

She’s a nice enough person.
She earned “Artist of the Year” for an album that was audio smut.
Exactly what parents were saying about rock and roll in the 50's and 60's. Today's smut is tomorrow's MOR.

Swift is a leftie. But she’s not evil, or out to hurt anyone.
If you like her music, give her a listen.
Otherwise, tune into another station.
So, yeah. You’re right.
Somehow I don’t think that will go down to be included along side the greatest quotes in history.
No she’s a cancer..
Once you expose your ultimate fear to the Internet, you’re over, because that’s All you’re going to receive.

I find myself going back to the 60’s and 70’s to listen to music from that ERA. 55-60 years from now NO ONE will be listening to Taylor Swift.
