Queen Bey is in the building. Beyoncé arrived at The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, April 1, for the 2024 iHeart Radio Music Awards, where she received the iHeartRadio Innovator Award.

The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer, 42, looked glamorous in a plunging leather ensemble, which she paired with a western hat to fit the theme of her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Although she didn’t walk the red carpet, she turned heads when she took the stage to accept her award.

Ahead of the awards show, iHeartMedia said of the R&B star, “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. … Beyoncé is the true definition of the modern-day artist innovator.”

The People’s Innovator

“Innovation starts with a dream. But then you have to execute that dream, and that road can be very bumpy,” the singer said in her speech. Being an innovator is seeing what everyone believes is impossible. Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength. Being an innovator is leaning on faith and trusting that God will catch you and guide you.”

A True Inspiration

Bey also urged record labels, award shows and radio stations to embrace art “with no preconceived notions.” She dedicated the award to “all the innovators who have dedicated their lives and their art to creating shifts.”
