She added, "You have to give yourself permission to fail. I try as hard as I can not to fail 'cause it's embarrassing, but I give myself permission to and you should too, so go easy on yourself and just make the right choices that feel right for you and someday someone might think that you've been innovative."

Swift was presented with the Innovator Award to honor her impact on global pop culture throughout her career. With her army of devoted fans, she has broken multiple records with her tours, with 2019's Reputation stadium tour being the highest-grossing U.S. tour in history and 2023's Eras tour literally breaking ticket sales.

If you need to see just how big her impact has been, look at her highly-anticipated and long-awaited Eras Tour, which she recently kicked off in "Swift City." The massive show is filled with dazzling displays showcasing the different eras throughout her storied career, from her self-titled debut to her recently-released Midnights album. It has even inspired couples to get engaged mid-concert and at least one that said "I do!"

The Innovator Award wasn't the only trophy Swift was looking to take home at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards. She was up for several awards throughout the night, including Song of the Year ("Anti-Hero"), Artist of the Year, Best Fan Army, Best Music Video ("Anti-Hero") and Best Lyrics ("Anti-Hero"), among others.
