The 27-year-old “Victoria’s Secret” singer teamed up with the pop-punk band Simple Plan for a new version of the Canadian group’s song “Iconic,” off of their 2022 album Harder Than It Looks.
Frontman Pierre Bouvier praised Jax for “forging her own path, breaking rules and doing things her own way, and it’s been cool to watch her use her platform in such a positive and inspiring way. We couldn’t be happier to be friends and have her on this song,” via Kerrang.
During the show, Becky G was awarded Latin Pop/Reggaeton Song of The Year for her song “MAMIII” with Karol G, while Taylor picked up the most awards of the night, with six wins.
The 33-year-old entertainer won iHeartRadio Innovator, Pop Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Lyrics, Favorite Use of a Sample and TikTok Bop of the Year.
During her Song of the Year acceptance speech, Taylor revealed that she didn’t think “Anti-Hero” would be a hit song, but she chose it as the lead single from Midnights because she liked it the most. Check out her speech here!
Former American Idol contestant Jax just shared that she’s currently battling thyroid cancer.
The 20-year-old singer, who finished third on the show’s 14th season, talked about her battle for the first time during a NJ 101.5 radio show appearance on Monday morning (August 8).
Jax explained that in April she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, a condition in which one’s immune system attacks the thyroid and shortly after it was discovered there was 18 tumors on her thyroid, 12 of which were cancerous.
“People don’t realize how important the thyroid is. It’s more important than the actual brain. It was messing me up emotionally, putting me in a strange place,” Jax explained.
In a Facebook post she added, “I didn’t want to publicize what I was going through, but my team and family insisted that it was something I should share with the people that have stuck by me all this time. I know I have been totally MIA for a few months and I do owe you guys an explanation. You have been with me through thick and thin.
All the tumors were successfully removed and she is undergoing iodine treatments. She says her doctor’s expect a full recovery.
Our thoughts are with Jax during this difficult time.
SPOILER ALERT – DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!
