Not only did the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Awards feature performances from Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell — along with the debut of a brand-new Michael Jackson, but there was also some hefty hardware handed out on Thursday night.
Rihanna came out on top, cleaning up with four wins after a late arrival. But it wan’t just the artists who were honored, but also the ever-faithful fan armies who won big.
