BTS undoubtedly excelled in the main-event slot at night of the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival, but the group’s set was far from the only eventful<\/em> moment Friday night.<\/p>\n

Cardi B delivered a particularly electric moment, wowing as she ran through hits like “WAP,” “Up,” “Finesse,” and “Bodak Yellow.”<\/p>\n

The artist was simply the epitome of charisma, bringing the entire crowd to its feet — and keeping it there for the variety of the set.<\/p>\n

Enjoying an active rhythmic and urban radio hit with “AH HA,” Cardi B took the stage after Kenny Chesney, Weezer, and Goo Goo Dolls entertained the audience at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. While none of those acts matched her energy, all had impressive moments of their own. Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So” and Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” proved particularly resonant.<\/p>\n
