Taylor Swift is performing at iHeartRadio Music Awards, but there's a catch
The iHeart Radio Music Awards will honor Taylor Swift with Tour of the Century accolades and the superstar will be performing ... well, sort of.
Monday marks the two-year anniversary of the Eras Tour opening night in Glendale, Arizona. iHeart Radio Music Awards confirms there will be an "exclusive performance from that opening night show" that will air during the live telecast (Fox, March 17, 8 p.m. ET/5 PT).
The awards show has not announced which taped performance will be broadcast. When Swift brought her $2 billion-earning tour to State Farm Arena, her setlist included 44 songs. Her surprise songs the very first night were "Mirrorball" on guitar and "Tim McGraw" on piano.
