He’s her No. 1 cheerleader.
Travis Kelce was spotted alongside fiancée Taylor Swift at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday, which is the couple’s first appearance together at an awards show.
The pair was shown on the Fox broadcast right as host Ludacris praised Swift for being the most-awarded artist in the show’s history, leading to cheers from the crowd at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
Swift’s first win of the night was for Pop Album of the Year, and she kissed Kelce before going on stage to receive her award, while also giving him a shoutout during her acceptance speech.
She is also up for Song of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, Favorite TikTok Dance, Pop Artist of the Year, Favorite on Screen and Favorite Tour Style.
She is also nominated for Best Lyrics and Best Music Video for “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Kelce and Swift’s outing on Thursday marks a rare public event for the couple, who got engaged in August after dating for two years.
According to Page Six, the couple plans to tie the knot on June 13, with the number 13 being significant for Swift, as she considers it her lucky number.
The Chiefs tight end also recently announced his return for a 14th NFL season, revealing on “The Pat McAfee Show” earlier this month that Swift was a motivating factor in his decision to remain in Kansas City.
“We share the same love for what we do,” Kelce said. “Fortunately, we’ve had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions. It’s amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about, keep finding new melodies and things like that, and on top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does, and yeah, of course, that’s motivating.
“That’s motivating for anyone to see, let alone my fiancée, and knowing that I’m going through something where I’m trying to figure out exactly what the future holds for me, something like that definitely motivates me to say, ‘You know what, I’m not done either.’”
