Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift win big at iHeartRadio awards

Pop superstars Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift took home top honours during the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Sheeran was named Male Artist of the Year and walked away with Song of the Year for 'Shape of You', while close pal Swift was awarded Female Artist of the Year.

One of the most notable moments of the night came when Chance the Rapper received the iHeartRadio Innovator Award, in recognition of his groundbreaking accomplishments in the music industry and his unsurpassable contributions to social causes, with his charitable enterprises, including his non-profit organisation SocialWorks.

The ceremony was also filled with show-stopping performances from the biggest stars on the music scene.

Cardi B brought the crowd to their feet during the show's opening, performing her single 'Bartier Cardi' before launching into her breakout smash 'Bodak Yellow'.

The rapper was one of the night's big winners, picking up Best New Hip-Hop Artist and the coveted Best New Artist honour.

Former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello took the stage for a sultry rendition of 'Havana', sporting a hot pink dress and gloves, while Maroon 5 performed their latest hit 'Wait' and later picked up Best Group of the Year.
