CELEBRITY
When Taylor Swift took home the award for video of the year at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, she used her speech to thank her team, fans and one person very special to her: Travis Kelce.
The pop star won the final award of the evening for her song “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone.
“The thing is that this video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was like the most fun video to make,” she said after thanking her team and collaborators. “Something that I’ll always remember is that when I would finish a take… I would always just hear someone like, cheering from across the studio where we were shooting it. And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis.”
“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic. So I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot, because I’ll always remember that,” she said. Swift went on to encourage people watching to register to vote in a different election; Swift endorsed presidential candidate Kamala Harris the day prior.
Though Kelce was not in the audience for the VMAs, he and Swift appear to be going strong.
Whether it’s attending his football games or her concerts, the couple knows how to cheer each other on. They also have shared what they do on their downtime, like Swift watching “Grey’s Anatomy” and both of them cooking together.
Kelce famously expressed his interest in the singer after he saw his first “Eras Tour” concert last summer at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The two officially became an item, and since then, their love has traveled internationally, with Kelce being spotted at her shows in Argentina, Singapore, Australia and France.
Swift and Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023, when the “Anti-Hero” singer first popped up at a Chiefs game to cheer on the tight end. The appearance broke the internet and came after months of dating rumors.
Throughout the rest of the NFL season, Swift became a fixture in suites and on TV screens, attending more than 10 Chiefs games and making an appearance at the Super Bowl.
How did they get here? Here’s a detailed timeline of their relationship.
