Take a look at the iHeartRadio Music Awards performances from over the last five years we still can't get over below.
1. Madonna & Taylor Swift's Surprise "Ghosttown" CollabBack in 2015, Queen of Pop Madonna released her album Rebel Heart, and was set to perform her song "Ghosttown" ... and she did! But then, Taylor Swift surprised everyone when she joined the pop legend on stage to support her on acoustic guitar. So beautiful.
2. Rihanna and her HELICOPTERIf there is anyone badass enough to put an entire HELICOPTER on stage, it is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Badgalriri brought this chopper on stage, dressed in a killer green fur and matching thigh high green boots, to sing "B*tch Better Have My Money" in 2015. Classic.
3. Usher's Dance Tribute to Michael JacksonMichael Jackson was not only a great singer, but a great dancer as well (Hello?! He invented the Moon Walk!). So to help pay tribute to the late great pop icon, and to celebrate his posthumous album Xscape, another amazing performer was called upon to help remember him: Usher. At the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2014, Usher performed a special dance tribute with Jackson's "Love Never Felt So Good."
4. Snoop Dogg & the Giant Peach(es)In 2015, Snoop Dogg performed his song "Peaches N Cream" featuring Charlie Wilson from his album Bush. And leave it to Snoop to actually have gigantic life size peaches n cream with him on stage to help bring the song to life.
6. That time Jason Aldean performed surrounded by LITERAL FLAMESWhen Jason Aldean wrote "Burnin It Down" -- he wasn't kidding. In 2015, the country star and his band performed the single surrounded by actual flames in all directions. Fire, everywhere!
7. Brad Paisley & Demi Lovato's "Stone Cold" DuetIf there was one moment during the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards that jaws were on the floor, it was this one. Demi Lovato surprised everyone when she had Brad Paisley by her side, but she also had the most vocally incredible performances of the night.
8. Zayn's Rare Live "Like I Would" PerformanceIn 2016, Zayn blessed us with his debut solo album Mind of Mine. The former One Directioner never toured with the album, and what's more, his live performances were rare. But the same year, he did sing his song "Like I Would" live at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in a rare, but amazing, performance.
9. Katy Perry & Her Human Hamster Wheel/Giant Hamster Maybe it was the human hamster wheel. Maybe it was the enormous, life-sized hamster. Or maybe it was the adorable young backup dancers. But in 2017, Katy Perry put on one heck of a show when she performed her single "Chained To The Rhythm" with Skip Marley.
10. Pharrell's "Happy" PerformanceAt the very first iHeartRadio Music Awards, Pharrell Williams received the very first Innovator Award, and to celebrate, he performed a career-spanning medley, which included songs like "Come Get It Bae," his Daft Punk collab "Get Lucky," his Robin Thicke collab "Blurred Lines," and his smash hit "Happy." And with all of the colors incorporated into the performance, as well as all of his backup dancers, it was hard not to feel anything but happy after watching!
