Awards were presented to the world's best selling artists at the iHeartRadio Music Awards Sunday. But some joked that the ceremony should be renamed the "iHeartTaylorSwift Awards."

Taylor Swift cleaned house at the event, she sweeped up the "artist of the year" and "song of the year" award 

The pop sensation won Artist of the Year and Song of the Year, and even assisted Madonna with a guitar rendition.

"More than anything in the world, I just hope that any of the fans watching know how much I adore you," Swift said.

Even pop icon Madonna toned it down when singing "Rebel Heart", letting Swift steal the spotlight, playing guitar next to her.

The second annual iHeartRadio Music Awards also featured Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and Iggy Azalea. Guests sat at traditional tables instead of typical awards show seats.

Timberlake won the iHeartRadio Innovator Award for his accomplishments as an entertainer. He offered some encouraging words to teens who have experienced being teased and bullied.

Timberlake earned the "iHeartRadio Innovator Award" for his accomplishments as an entertainer. 

"Growing up in school, no one ever called me anything close to an innovator; they called me different, they called me weird, they called me a couple of other words I can't say on TV," Timberlake said.

"So thankfully my mother taught me that being different was a good thing, that being different meant you could actually make a difference, so tonight I want to thank my mom."

The show began with Azalea dressed as an inmate and Jennifer Hudson as a police officer, as they performed "Trouble", complete with a jail cell with laser light bars.

Nick Jonas followed the theme with his arms and neck tied in thick chains, while he sang his latest hit, "Chains," as dancers wearing black and white stripes circled him.

Jamie Foxx hosted the fan-voted show and performed a new song with Chris Brown.

The three-hour event also featured other big names such as Meghan Trainor, Florida Georgia Line, Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson.
