Taylor Swift gave her fiance, Travis Kelce, a sweet shoutout during the iHeartRadio Music awards to mark their first appearance at a major award show together.

The singer-songwriter on Thursday took home seven trophies for her 2025 album "The Life of a Showgirl," breaking history as the most awarded artist in a single night. Her slew of accolades included pop album of the year, and she used her acceptance speech to show Kelce some love — but first she thanked her fans.

“The album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’ was really inspired by the energy that I felt, like looking into crowds and seeing you guys and connecting with you every single night,” she said. “And so the album came out with this energy of just feeling really happy and strong and confident and free. And so I want to say thank you to the fans for giving me that feeling.”

The “Opalite” singer then addressed her husband-to-be. They announced their engagement via Instagram in August 2025, after two years of dating. Their relationship famously began after the NFL star revealed he was disappointed he could not give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it after she performed at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium as part of her “Eras Tour.”

 

“I think that this album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life, because of my fiance, who’s here, too,” she said, adding, “Thanks for all the vibes.”

At another point during the award show, Swift, sporting a seafoam green corset ensemble, could be seen dancing alongside Kelce while singer Raye belted her viral hit “Where Is My Husband?” When the cameras panned to the “Folklore” songstress, she lifted her hand, showing off her old mine brilliant cut engagement ring.

Swift also later in the night accepted artist of the year, which was presented to her by Olympic gold medalist and figure skater Alysa Liu.
