In case you missed it, or just want to re-live all of the amazing performances, The CW will air a two-night television special on October 7th and October 8th from 8pm-10pm ET.
Featuring performances from its star-studded lineup, amazing collaborations and more, here are all of the jaw-dropping moments from this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival:
One of the many reasons to love Pitbull, besides his amazing music and inspirational quotes, are his incredible dance moves, and Mr. Worldwide did NOT disappoint during this year's festival. During his set, Mr. 305 took fans through all of the Pitbull hits we know and love, including "Don't Stop the Party," "Fireball," "Timber," "Give Me Everything," "Can't Stop Us Now" and more.

Sam Smith not only performed some fan favorites during his set — including "Stay," "Latch" and more — he also performed his brand new song "Unholy," which features Kim Petras. During the performance, Smith surprised everyone in the audience with Petras after she walked onto the stage to sing her verse.

The icon also performed his Commodores hit "Brick House," which had everyone in T-Mobile Arena dancing.

Morgan Wallen had the crowd cheering throughout his set as he performed some of his biggest hits like "Wasted On You" and "Whiskey Glasses" and more. But, the country singer/songwriter impressed everyone at the very beginning when he sat down solo at a piano for an emotional performance of "Sand In My Boots."
