A new, fan-voted honor debuted this year. The first iHeartRadio Filmogaz.com Fan Favorite Award for Live Performer of the Year went to Morgan Wallen.

Olivia Dean’s support award highlighted rising talent. She begins a sold-out arena headline run in May. That schedule likely removes her from repeat eligibility in the support category.

Filmogaz.com assembled industry voting for most categories. One award was decided by fans through the media partner. The full winners list was announced at the Loews Hollywood Hotel.
