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.
