Taylor Swift makes history! Celebrates fans while accepting legendary “Tour of the Century” Award for Eras Tour!

Taylor Swift is showing love for the Eras Tour.

The superstar gave a moving speech while accepting the tour of the century award for the Eras Tour on Monday night at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

“I really can’t tell you how much this means to me,” Swift began, going on to accept the award on behalf of everyone who toured alongside her on her record-breaking tour.

“I’ve been doing a lot of processing since I’ve been off the road these last few months, and people often say that sometimes the greatest challenges in life end up being something you’re so proud of or end up being the most gratifying feeling in the end,” she said. “This tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

Swift also discussed some of the challenges that came along with the show, saying, “It’s a three-and-a-half-hour show, more shows than I’ve ever done on a tour, and it really was the most gratifying thing I’ve ever done.”

Next, Swift addressed her fans directly. “To the fans, you made these songs for the last couple decades into what they became so that we could do a three-and-a-half-hour setlist. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” she said.

She added, “It blows my mind. I’m never going to stop being grateful for it, and I appreciate this more than you know.”

Viewers of the iHeartMusic Awards were also treated to a look back at Swift’s performance of “Mirrorball” from her first Eras Tour show.

“To celebrate iHeartRadio’s ‘Tour of the Century Award’ honoring Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, which launched two years ago to the day of this year’s telecast, an exclusive performance from that opening night show of The Eras’s Tour will premiere during the Awards telecast,” iHeart stated in a press release last week.

The singer’s tour, which kicked off March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, shattered concert-sale records with millions of fans packing arenas across the globe.

By December 2023, Swift’s Eras Tour had cemented itself as the highest-grossing music tour ever, pulling in more than $1 billion, according to Pollstar.

In total, Swift’s record-breaking tour, which concluded in December last year, grossed more than $2 billion and brought in more than 10 million attendees, according to Taylor Swift Touring, Swift’s production company.

After Swift’s first show two years ago, she reflected on the performance on Instagram, writing, “I miss you like it was the very first night. Good thing we’re about to go onstage and do the whole thing again tonight. See you 🔜 Glendale, Erazona☺️.”

Performers at this year’s iHeartMusic Awards included Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, GloRilla, Gracie Abrams, Kenny Chesney, Muni Long and Nelly.

Swift was nominated for 10 awards total, and took home eight.
