Taylor Swift didn’t attend the star studded iHeartRadio Awards, and her boyfriend Travis Kelce might have played a role in filming her surprise attendance. Amid breakup rumors, the couple seems to be going strong and fans are rooting for them every step of the way.
For 2025 awards, Taylor Swift won Pop Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department and Artist of the Year, the latter which was not presented during the awards ceremony. She also won the socially voted categories: Favorite Surprise Guest (with her boyfriend Travis Kelce), Best Tour Tradition, and Best Lyrics and Best Music Video for Fortnight (feat. Post Malone).

Swift pre-recorded her acceptance speech and thanked her fans every step of the way. “I really can’t tell you how much this means to me because I accept this on behalf of all my tourmates, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew,” she said when she accepted the Tour of the Century Award. Fans noticed this one clue and freaked out when they realized who might have filmed the video.
Did Travis Kelce Film Taylor Swift’s iHeartRadio Award Speech?
Fans seem to think so! A TikTok showed that if you look really closely at the reflection on the iHeartRadio award that Taylor Swift is holding up, you can see someone filming her acceptance speech. Some fans think that this person might be the one and only Travis Kelce.
“I KNEW HE WAS RECORDING,” one fan commented. Other fans seemed to disagree, “Is the reflection of Travis in the room with us 😂” and “it could literally be anyone 💀” Nonetheless, the award is pretty big for The Tortured Poets Department singer, who also said that the first Eras Tour show was special to her. Coincidentally that was when she played Arrowhead Stadium aka the Chiefs homebase and when the Traylor lore started.
Breakup rumors never seem to leave the couple. RadarOnline previously reported that Travis’s retirement decision might impact his relationship with Swift. “If Travis does retire, it could drastically change his and Taylor’s lives together. He would be around far more – and who knows, she may start to get sick of him!” the outlet said.
Travis confirmed that he’s making a football comeback for next season and explained his love for the game on his podcast New Heights, “The biggest thing is that I f—— love playing the game of football. I still feel like I can play at a high level, and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don’t think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record for how I did in years past. I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me.”
