“Everything this man touches turns to happiness!” Taylor Swift, while blushing, thanks boyfriend Travis Kelce during her award acceptance speech at VMAs

Travis Kelce wasn’t present at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, on Wednesday to watch his girlfriend Taylor Swift win 2 trophies at the MTV VMA Awards 2024. That doesn’t mean the pop icon forgot about her beau.

In fact, the 34-year-old was missing him by her side when she went up the stage to receive the best music video award for ‘Fortnite.’ Swift had company from Post Malone, who collaborated with her on the video.

The entire room full of Swift lovers stood up to cheer for her, but she was missing her man. So, during her speech, she gave a shout-out to Travis Kelce.

When I would finish a take, and I’d say cut, and we’d be done with that 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 [Kelce]. Everything this man touches turns to happiness, fun, and magic. So, I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.
Taylor Swift said

This was perhaps one of the very few times Swift called Kelce her boyfriend in a public forum. It’s significant because a day earlier she endorsed Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States, and Kelce will most likely make his move sooner rather than later.

Why wasn’t Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift at the VMA Awards?

One can be sure that the 3x Super Bowl winner would have loved to attend the award ceremony because he missed Swift winning her 14th Grammy last year. However, the 2024 season is already on the way, with the Chiefs winning their Week 1 fixture against the Baltimore Ravens.

In the next game, they will face a tough challenge from the Cincinnati Bengals, so the Chiefs players have been busy grinding in training.

To compensate for missing the award ceremony, Kelce and Swift spent time in New York during the weekend. They went to the famous Lucali Pizza and then stayed the night at Swift’s New Jersey house. Later, the pair showed up at the US Open with Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes. Both seemed in a happy mood and enjoying themselves before going their separate ways for work.

Swift still has time on her hands until she embarks on the next phase of her Eras Tour in November. It’s not confirmed, but Swifties should rest sure that their idol might attend a Chiefs game or two before embarking on a new chapter.
