Spring just started, but Megan Thee Stallion kicked off Hot Girl Summer 2022 at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Tuesday, March 22.

Megan, 27, was one of the few performers booked for the show, and she slayed the Shrine Auditorium’s stage.

Megan arrived in style – actually, she showed up in a giant red oven. After emerging in a fire-engine red outfit, Megan delivered a few bars of “Megan’s Piano” from her Something For the Hotties album.

She then kicked into her new hit with Dua Lipa, “Sweetest Pie.” There was everything – people getting hit in the faces with pies. Dancing. Megan even twerked on a red piano. That’s one way to play the 88 keys!

Afterwards, she was awarded the 2022 Trailblazer Award. A breathless Megan swore that she would use her platform to stand up against adversity and champion Black women.

She thanked everyone, especially her Hotties, for all their support. Megan also gave love to all the women who blazed a trail for her.

The Houston native went into the 2022 awards with three nominations. She was up for Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, facing Drake, Lil Baby, Moneybagg Yo, and Pop Smoke.

Meg was also nominated for Best Fan Army, with her Hotties going up against Beliebers (Justin Bieber), Rushers (Big Time Rush), Arianators (Ariana Grande), Selenators (Selena Gomez), Livies (Olivia Rodrigo), Harries (Harry Styles), Swifties (Taylor Swift), Louies (Louis Tomlinson), Limelights (Why Don’t We), and the ARMY of BTS.

Meg’s third nomination was for TikTok Bop Of The Year. Like the Fan Army Award, this was socially voted.

Her “Thot Sh-t” was nominated alongside Maneskin’s “Beggin’,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u,” PinkPantheress’s “Just For Me,” Doja Cat and SZA’s “Kiss Me More,” Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI’s “Stay,” Coi Leray’s “Twinnem,” Cardi B’s “Up,” and Doja Cat’s “Woman.”
