In an epic night of triumph and celebration, Taylor Swift made history at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, dominating the competition by taking home a staggering seven awards, including the coveted video of the year for her chart-topping hit “Fortnight” featuring the talented Post Malone. The crowd roared with excitement as Swift gave a surprise shout-out to her “boyfriend” Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The relationship between Swift and Kelce has been the subject of much speculation ever since the unforgettable Eras Tour concert two summers ago, with Swift becoming a familiar face at Chiefs home games during the previous season. Now, with their status as a couple made official, Swift took the opportunity to express her deep affection for Kelce in her heartfelt acceptance speech for video of the year.
“When I’d finish a take, and I’d say cut, and we’d be done with that take, I’d always just hear someone cheering and like ‘whoo’ from across the studio,” Swift revealed. “And that one person was my boyfriend Travis.” She continued, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”
The atmosphere was electric as Swift’s powerful words resonated throughout the venue, with fans and fellow artists alike marveling at the undeniable chemistry between the singer and her football star beau. “Talk about a hard launch,” one observer remarked, capturing the palpable energy of the moment.
With her unprecedented seven awards on Wednesday night, Swift solidified her status as the solo artist with the most career VMAs wins, an impressive total of 30 accolades. Unfortunately, Kelce was unable to join Swift at the star-studded event, as he was diligently preparing with the Chiefs for their upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
As the music world continues to bask in the glow of Swift’s record-breaking achievement, one thing remains clear: love, success, and magic are in the air for this power couple.
