Earlier today, Harry Styles was crowned the 'Artist of the Year' at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2023. This year, the awards ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. While the former One Direction member was not present at the show, he did thank his fans via a video message for the honour.

Harry Styles was nominated in multiple awards this year, including 'Artist of the Year', 'Song of the Year', and 'Best Music Video' for "As It Was," and Favorite Residency for "Love on Tour". With a total of eight nominations, he was tied with Taylor Swift and Lizzo, as one of the most recognised artistes on the show.

The singer was not able to attend the iHeartRadio Music Awards today as he is currently busy on tour. However, the 29-year-old pop star shared a video message with his fans, which was played at the awards ceremony after he won. In the video, Harry had said, "I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at the iHearts Awards for giving me this prestigious honor of Artist of the Year. It is very kind of you and I'm sorry that I can't be there with you tonight. I hope you're all having a wonderful evening, and thank you very much. Take care."

Notably, Harry beat the likes of Beyonce, Doja Cat, Drake, Dua Lipa, Jack Harlow, Justin Bieber, Lizzo, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd—all of whom were nominated in the same category for 'Artist of the Year'.
