Additional highlights included:
• P!NK opened the 2023 “iHeartRadio Music Awards” with a truly incredible acrobatic performance of “TRUSTFALL,” from her album of the same name. Keeping up with the theme of the upbeat song, she even performed a trust fall of her very own, wowing the crowd as she dropped backwards from a platform into the waiting arms of her backup dancers.
• Keith Urban brought a piece of Las Vegas to Los Angeles when he delivered an electrifying performance on the 2023 “iHeartRadio Music Awards” stage. The country hitmaker, in the midst of his high-energy Las Vegas residency, performed two of his most unforgettable anthems at the Dolby Theater. Urban performed a rendition of one of his most recent ballads, “Brown Eyes Baby,” a romantic anthem released last year followed by “Somewhere In My Car.”
• Kelly Clarkson, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo all helped honor this year’s ICON Award Recipient, P!NK, with special covers of two of her biggest hits. After Clarkson introduced the award, Benatar and Giraldo performed one of P!NK’s earliest hits, “Just Like A Pill,” from her 2001 album Missundaztood. Kelly Clarkson then took over the stage with a powerful cover of one of P!NK’s biggest smash-hits of her career, “Just Give Me a Reason.” Just as Clarkson started belting the chorus, P!NK took it up a notch when she joined Clarkson for a stunning duet of the song. P!NK then surprised the crowd by performing one of her biggest hits, “What About Us.”
Jax, Cody Johnson, Muni Long and Giovannie and The Hired Guns came together in a historic multi-genre performance between all the Infinity Best New Artists. Jax performed her hit “Victoria’s Secret” in a bomber jacket and got the crowd rocking before Cody Johnson took the stage to perform “Til You Can’t.” Muni Long then made sure she stood out among the rest as she delivered a symphonic rendition of her hit song “Hrs & Hrs.” She was surrounded by a 9-man orchestra as she belted out the song while wearing a stunning black gown. Giovannie and the Hired Guns then rocked the whole crowd with their song “Ramon Ayala” to finish up the performance.
LL COOL J hit the stage at the awards show to deliver a powerful performance about Hip-Hop’s roots in honor of the genre’s 50th anniversary.
Lenny Kravitz treated fans to a medley of some of his biggest hits. Lenny’s live performances have been rare since he wrapped up his Raise Vibration Tour in 2019.
