Travis Kelce has subtly shown his thankfulness to Taylor Swift after she included him in her speech when accepting her MTV Video Music Award for “Video of the Year.”
On Wednesday, September 11, the “So High School” singer took home seven VMAs, making her total number of awards 30 which ties her with Beyonce for the most Moonmen earned by a single artist, when she received the award for “Fortnite”, featuring Post Malone, where she gushed about Kelce being on the set while she was filming it.
“I would always just hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting [the ‘Fortnight’ music video],” Swift said, reflecting on the video in her acceptance speech. “And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis.”
“Everything this man touches turns into happiness, and fun, and magic, and I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”
MTV posted a video of the speech on Instagram alongside a caption that read, “One person ONLY cheers louder for @taylorswift than I do – and that’s @killatrav.” One of the likes on the post, came from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end himself.

Kelce couldn’t attend the awards show this year due to his football practice in Missouri for the Chiefs’ upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, September 15.
Although he did make sure to let people know that he was rooting for her during the latest episode of his New Heights podcast with his older brother, Jason Kelce.
“Hopefully, Taylor can walk away with a few!” the tight end said during Wednesday’s episode. “She’s nominated for about 10 of those things tonight. Hopefully, she can walk away with some Moonmen. Those are some of the cooler trophies.”
