Talk about a gold rush.

Reigning Olympic champ Alysa Liu got onstage at Thursday night’s iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles to present Taylor Swift with not one, but six awards.

“She is the GOAT of music,” Liu, who won gold in both the team figure skating event and the women’s individual event in February, said while announcing the awards. “She lent her voice and music by narrating the video introducing me and the other Blade Angels. I gotta say, I think that’s why we won.”

Swift took home Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video and Favorite Tour Style in one fell swoop. Earlier in the night, she nabbed Pop Album of the Year, bringing her haul for the evening to seven.

“I just wanna say, first of all, to receive this award from Alysa — you brought me so much happiness, and everyone else so much happiness, with your performances. And I was inspired by how much diligence and work and effort and love you have for what you do,” Swift told Liu in her speech.

Liu, who retired from figure skating at 16 before making a return two years later, dazzled crowds at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games with her free skate to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park.” The now-20-year-old was hailed as a refreshing change for the sport thanks to her focus on individuality and having fun while competing. She, along with fellow skaters Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito, made up the “Blade Angels” for Team USA.

Swift referred to the trio as “three American showgirls on ice” while narrating a hype reel for the athletes ahead of the Games over her song “Opalite.”

“Joy fuels her now,” Swift said of Liu in the video.

“I love being an artist. I love writing songs more than anything in the world,” the singer said Thursday night.

“I didn’t think I was an artist when I first started doing it. It was a hobby. It was a hobby and then it was my favorite hobby,” she told the crowd, which included fiancé Travis Kelce, before telling audience members to follow their passions without seeking outside approval.

“If I had one hope for you, I would say that I hope that you get to nurture your hobby and your passion just between you and that craft,” Swift added.
