Two things that bring RAYE and Taylor Swift together are music and love for what they do, and the Escapism hitmaker knew what she had to ask Swift at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
RAYE, for her part, showed up to the ceremony ready to talk music and style. But what caught people’s attention were the two pieces of advice the British rising star received from Swift — and she did not hesitate to share them with the world. Moreover, while chatting with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly on the red carpet, she hoped to run into Swift inside.
RAYE shares the Taylor Swift advice she swears by at 2026 iHeartRadio Awards
RAYE spoke about Taylor Swift like someone she genuinely likes and respects after spending time together before, telling Billboard, “I’ve had the pleasure of having a couple of beautiful conversations with her and I really, really like her.” She added, “She’s really, really lovely, so I hope I bump into her.”
When Kelly asked whether RAYE received any advice from Swift, the Where Is My Husband singer revealed she discussed how the 14-time Grammy winner maintains stamina while performing onstage, asking her how she manages a three-hour show.
RAYE revealed, “Well, I was actually asking her, ‘How do you do your show for 3 hours?’” She added, “She was just giving me all the tea and the tips,” later admitting she wanted help with something far more specific — makeup that lasts through a full set. RAYE told Billboard, “I asked her about her red lipstick because, you know, it never moves,” explaining, “The problem is when I sing, mine goes all over my face. So I was like, ‘How do you do it?’ She was just giving me some tips and stuff.”
On the carpet, the British sensation thanked iHeartRadio for supporting her music and helping more American listeners find her. Overall, RAYE’s interaction with Taylor Swift at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards was just one artist asking another how she pulls off the hard bits of being a performer. And from the way Swift grooved to Where Is My Husband during the event, it seems like RAYE has already won the pop star over.
