Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea are about to battle it out. No, these three pop princesses aren't in a feud with each other -- they're actually all up for the top honor at this year's iHeartRadio Awards. The singers are also joined in the category by Luke Bryan and Sam Smith, as these two gents hope to take the trophy from the pop divas. But should they come up empty-handed in this category, the five of them lead the pack with other nominations for the night.

According to E! News, Iggy and Sam are the frontrunners with five nods, while Ariana and Taylor come in second with four nominations each.

This year's event will take place March 29 and be held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, where it will be broadcast live on NBC and simultaneously aired on iHeartRadio stations across the country.
