Did Taylor Swift just give Travis Kelce the ultimate shoutout? What does this mean for his legacy?

Taylor Swift did it once again. At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, she took home seven Moonmen, including the coveted Video of the Year for ‘Fortnight’ featuring Post Malone. With this, she created history and tied with Beyonce for the most MTV Awards overall, which is 30. What else, this is the third time the musician has won Video of the Year in a row- a fan-voted award. Swift and Post Malone also won the first televised award of the VMAs for best collaboration and the award was handed to them by fan-favorite Olympian Jordan Chiles. What else would Swift want?

Travis Kelce! There’s the answer. Though Swift’s night at the VMAs was nothing short of a touchdown, it wouldn’t be complete without her shout-out for the Chiefs TE.

“This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was like the most fun video to make. Something that I’ll always remember is that when I would finish a take and I’d and I’d say cut and we’d be done with that take, I would always just hear like someone like, cheering and like, whoo, like from across from across the studio. That one person was my boyfriend, Travis!” Taylor Swift gushed.

This reminds us about how Kelce was always cheering and supporting the singer during her Eras Tour and Swift, in turn, would be there to watch the Chiefs play.

“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic. So I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.” The audience went wild with loud cheers as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship has anyway been in the spotlight for quite some time.

This public display of affection wasn’t out of character for the couple. Swift had previously changed lyrics in her song ‘Karma’ from “the guy on the screen” to “the guy on the Chiefs” during her Eras Tour, much to Kelce’s surprise as he watched from the audience alongside her father. So the only thing fans missed at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards was Travis Kelce’s presence.

As the pop singer took to the stage during her speech, she first gave props to her dream team. From Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles for their cameos to her “amazing cinematographer” Rodrigo Prieto, she spread the love. But we still have a question. Where was Kelce?

While Swift was collecting moonmen, Travis Kelce was running drills with the Kansas City Chiefs. But his absence didn’t mean radio silence. Earlier this week, on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis showed he was very much in Swift’s corner. “She’s nominated [for] about 10 of those things tonight,” he said, pride evident in his voice. “Hopefully, she can walk away with some Moonmen!”

This cheer wasn’t just sweet; it was a glimpse into how they navigate their high-profile lives. With Swift’s Eras Tour breaking records and Kelce gearing up for another NFL season, their support game is as strong as their respective careers.

Plus, let us not forget their mutual admiration. As Swift told TIME magazine last year, “I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”

It is a sentiment that rings true whether they are side-by-side at a game or cheering from afar.

What’s your perspective on:

Did Taylor Swift just give Travis Kelce the ultimate shoutout? What does this mean for his legacy?

Have an interesting take?

This statement appears to be a testament to their high-profile relationship. Even after the Chief’s first win this regular season, the pop sensation made sure to express her joy as she celebrated with the team.

As she mentioned last year, she loves being “there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.” Thus, most likely the Chiefs are going to have Swift’s presence surround them as the ‘Blank Space’ singer supports her beau.
