Lady Gaga made these comments while receiving the Innovator Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, March 17, 2025.

“I don’t know totally how to think about this because winning an award honouring my entire career at 38 years old is a hard thing to get my head around,” Gaga said.

“The world might consider a woman in her late 30’s old for a pop star, which is insane, but I promise you I’m just getting warmed up,” she added.

Meanwhile, the duo of Nigerian singers Burna Boy and Tems lost the maiden World Artist Of The Year award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards to South Africa’s Tyla.
