The iHeartRadio Music Awards held its second annual show Sunday from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Some of the biggest names in music were there, which provided performances and controversy.

Taylor Swift took home the fan-voted awards, including artist of the year, song of the year (“Shake it Off) and best lyrics (“Blank Space”). Swift thanked her many fans, whom she says she has bonded with on social media during her 1989 album campaign.

iHeartRadio Music Awards host Jamie Foxx provided controversy with offensive jokes about Black History Month, American Sniper and Suge Knight. He may have crossed a line when he took aim at Bruce Jenner, making light of his alleged transition to a woman. Foxx joked that Jenner would be doing a “his-and-her duet” and that he was “busting his balls” while he still could. Foxx drew criticism from fans on Twitter.

There were plenty of divas around like Kelly Clarkson, Meghan Trainor, Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson. There was also an impressive performance by a shackled Nick Jonas of his latest single “Chains”.

Rihanna also sang “B—- Better Have My Money,” released days ago.

Other performers included Madonna, Iggy Azalea, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and Meghan Trainor.

Did you watch? What was your favorite performance? Who do you heart?
