<p>Taylor Swift received the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday, March 26 (US time). The award is an honor given to artists for their contribution to global pop culture.</p><p>Taylor delivered an inspiring speech at the awards night after receiving yet another accolade in her lustrous career.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m really flattered by this award so thank you so much to iHeart for giving this to me,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;I never in a single time woke up in the morning and thought, &#x27;You know what I&#x27;m gonna do today? I&#x27;m gonna innovate some stuff. Things maybe innovated and I&#x27;m be the one who does it,&quot; the singer quipped.</p><p>The pop star then talked about her journey as an artist, highlighting how she has always been someone who&#x27;s trying to evolve and pave her own way rather than following what the status quo dictates.</p><div><iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lIrHts62ACQ" title="Taylor Swift Acceptance Speech - Innovator Award | 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&quot;What I did do was try to make the right decision for me at the time whether or not it ever successfully done before. And I think that might be the key because often times in any industry, people are looking for a precedent or you know, data that shows this idea is a good one or a feasible one,&quot; she explained.</p><p>She further elaborated: &quot;People want an example of something working before. But I think the coolest ideas, or moves, or choices are the new ones, the ones that set a new precedent and I am very privileged because my fans backed me up in a lot of choices that I made.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/10/21/fresh-scoops/taylor-swift-releases-her-tenth-studio-album-203189"><strong>READ: Taylor Swift releases new album ‘Midnights’, a collage of ‘intensity, highs and lows, and ebbs and flows’</strong></a></div><p>Pointing out as an example, Taylor said that switching genres and rerecording all of her old music are not something that are done often.</p><p>&quot;But I do want to say that the thing with this exciting nights and moments and specifically this award that I&#x27;m so lucky that to have gotten is that you know they are shining a light into the choices that I made that worked out, the ones that turned out to be good ideas,&quot; she remarked. </p><p>&quot;But I really, really want everyone to know especially young people that the hundreds or thousands of dumb ideas that I had are what lead me to my good ideas. You have to give your permission to fail.&quot;</p><p>The pop star then reminded her fans to &quot;go easy&quot; on themselves.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOdT1XuMhY/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A3648079.5%2C%22ls%22%3A1072828.199999988%2C%22le%22%3A1073282.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="567" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;I try as hard as I can not to fail because it&#x27;s embarrassing but I do give myself permission to and you should, too. So go easy on yourselves and just make the right choices that feel right for you and someday someone might think that you might be innovative,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Aside from the Innovator Award, Taylor also received Song of the Year, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video awards for &quot;Anti-Hero,&quot; TikTok Bop of the Year for &quot;Bejeweled,&quot; and Favorite Use of a Sample for &quot;Question...?&quot;. </p><p>Taylor&#x27;s Innovator Award came during another momentous year following the kickoff of her gigantic &quot;The Eras Tour&quot; in Arizona this month. </p><p>Prior to her tour, Taylor yet again broke records with her tenth studio album <em>Midnights </em>which was released in October last year. </p><div><style rel="stylesheet">.scroll-wrapper {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;}.scroll-wrapper iframe {border: none;}</style></div><div class="scroll-wrapper"><iframe id="MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789" style="width:100%;min-height:480px" src="https://controller.megaphonetv.com/?m=tqu4z&amp;iswebpoll=true&amp;poll_id=active"></iframe></div><script type="text/javascript">!function(){class e{constructor(t,s=null){this.type=null,this.fieldName=t,this.fieldValue=s,this.originMessageID=`${(new Date).getTime()}_${Math.random()}`,this.systemID=e.SYSTEM_ID}toPlainObject(){return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this))}}e.GET="GET",e.SET="SET",e.RESPONSE="RESPONSE",e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK="LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK",e.SYSTEM_ID="MP_FIRST_PARTY_DATA_BRIDGE";class t extends e{constructor(t,s,a=null){super(t,s),this.status=a,this.type=e.RESPONSE}}function s(){try{if("undefined"==typeof localStorage)return!1;try{return localStorage.setItem("testkey","testvalue"),localStorage.removeItem("testkey"),!0}catch(e){return!1}}catch(e){return!1}}if(window&&window.addEventListener){const a=document.getElementById("MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789");new class{constructor(){this.targetOrigin="*",this.bubblingMessages=new Map,this.beginListeningForMessages()}beginListeningForMessages(){window.addEventListener("message",this.messageListener.bind(this),!1)}messageListener(a){if(a.data.systemID!==e.SYSTEM_ID)return;let i=a.data.type,n=a.data.fieldName,r=a.data.fieldValue,g=new t;if(g.originMessageID=a.data.originMessageID,i===e.GET)g.fieldName=n,s()?this.handleGet(n,a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.SET)s()?this.handleSet(n,r):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK)s()?this.handleLocalStorageCheck(a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.RESPONSE){const e=this.bubblingMessages.get(a.data.originMessageID);null!=e&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(a.data.originMessageID),e.source.postMessage(a.data,this.targetOrigin))}}handleGet(e,t,s){s.fieldValue=localStorage.getItem(e),s.status=200,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}handleSet(e,t){localStorage.setItem(e,t)}handleLocalStorageCheck(e,t){t.status=200,e.postMessage(t.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}checkForBubble(e,t,s){!function(){try{return window.self!==window.top}catch(e){return!0}}()?(s.status=403,s.fieldValue=null,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)):this.bubbleMessage(e,t)}bubbleMessage(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.set(t.originMessageID,{message:t,source:s}),t.type!==e.GET&&t.type!==e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK||setTimeout(this.handleBubbledMessageTimeout.bind(this),4e3,t,s),window.parent.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin)}handleBubbledMessageTimeout(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.has(t.originMessageID)&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(t.originMessageID),t.status=404,t.type=e.RESPONSE,s.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin))}};window.addEventListener("message",function(e){e.data.hasOwnProperty("height")&&(a.style.height=(parseInt(e.data.height)+1).toString()+"px")},!1)}}();</script>
