Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is a woman with many accolades and achievements. And now, she will be honored with the iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
The award is given to one artist who is continuously contributing to pop culture and the music industry, according to iHeartRadio. This year's award will be given to none other than Queen Bey just days after her new album is released. She's expected to attend the show, which will air live from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on April 1.
"Few artists in the course of history have taken creative risks, successfully transformed their music and influenced pop culture on the level that Beyoncé has," an iHeart news release stated. "Throughout the years, the global cultural icon has created music that has topped the charts across multiple formats, while also architecting groundbreaking tours, including last year’s RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR — the highest-grossing tour in history for both an R&B artist and a Black female artist."
The company also cited her philanthropic work and history of topping the charts, recently becoming the first Black woman to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 with a country song.
"Beyoncé is the true definition of the modern-day artist innovator," the relesae stated.
As fans know, Beyoncé released the first two singles from her upcoming album "Cowboy Carter" during a surprise commercial during Super Bowl last month. Almost instantly, the songs took the internet by storm.
The Grammy Award winning singer recently opened up about entering into the country music space, saying she was "honored" to make such achievements with her new music but she hopes that "years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant."
Hosted by Ludacris, the iHeart Music Awards will air 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on Fox, and it will also be broadcast on iHeartMedia radio stations worldwide and the iHeartRadio app.
