Miley Cyrus took home the Innovator Award at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards. The award was presented by Lainey Wilson, who praised Cyrus as ‘one of my biggest inspirations.’ Wilson noted that Cyrus ‘redefined herself in front of the world over and over — and then over again — from breaking out of a box that people tried to put her in.’ As Cyrus accepted her award, the crowd chanted her name, and she joked about the speech cut-off sound.
Cyrus shared her thoughts on innovation, saying it’s about making the journey of finding herself a fun one. She expressed her gratitude to her fans, stating that connecting with people across the world through her work brings her joy. Cyrus concluded her speech by referencing Hannah Montana, saying ‘This really is the life.’ The award comes as Cyrus celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, which she said has been ‘a dream come true.’
