Taylor Swift is turning the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards into a date night, with fiancé Travis Kelce by her side.
About 20 minutes before the ceremony began on Thursday, iHeartRadio posted on its X account that the Kansas City Chiefs star was attending the show and making his way to his seat. IHeartRadio uploaded a video of Kelce walking through the hallway of the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where the award show is being held.
A few minutes later, Swift was filmed waving to fans as she entered the historic auditorium.
Although they arrived separately, the two met up inside, marking their first time attending an award show together.
As host Ludacris welcomed the audience and viewers to the ceremony, he mentioned in his opening monologue that this was the pop icon’s third time attending the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which honors the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and app of the past year.
After saying her name, cameras cut to Swift, who delivered a wink and a wave to the camera before turning to smile at the person next her. When Ludacris made his way through the crowd of stars in the first row, it was revealed that Kelce was the mystery person seated beside her.
IHeartRadio quickly shared a clip of the couple on X, writing, “Tayvis looking stunning as ever!!”
As the night continued, the “The Fate of Ophelia” singer and the NFL star posed for the camera. In one sweet snap they lovingly looked at each other.
The singer won pop album of the year for “The Life of a Showgirl,” which was released in October 2025. After Raye announced her as the winner, Swift stood and quickly shared a kiss with Kelce before taking the stage.
During her speech she spoke about writing her latest album and took a moment to she give the NFL player a loving shout out.
“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 fiancé, who is here tonight,” she said.
“So thanks for all the vibes,” she added as the crowd applauded.
The pair, who have been dating since 2023, announced their engagement in August 2025.
Ever since then, Swifties can’t get enough of seeing the two reflect on their relationship and out and about.
And for this special occasion, Swifties celebrated seeing the two together and also shared videos on social media of them inside the Dolby Theatre.
In one clip, the two greeted musician Sombr.
Another showed them holding hands.
