Taylor Swift Thanks NFL Boyfriend Kelce for ‘Fun and Magic’ at MTV VMAs
Taylor Swift thanked her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, after winning the top prize at the MTV Video Music Awards Wednesday night, in a rare vocal nod to their very public partnership.
“I would always hear someone cheering and ‘whoooo’ from across the studio where we were shooting it,” said Swift in an acceptance speech, for Video of the Year which she won after self-directing the video for her song “Fortnight.” “And that one person was my boyfriend Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”
The mere mention of Kelce’s name prompted a round of elated shrieks and screams from Swift fans in attendance, with the decibel volume likely on par with the Chief’s Arrowhead Stadium crowds. The singer, fresh off an endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, added she “will always remember” Kelce’s jovial attitude on the shoot.
