On Thursday, September 12th, Taylor Swift landed in Kansas City via private jet, eager to reunite with her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, after her big wins at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

Swift, who was the biggest winner of the night, boarded the jet from New York on Thursday morning to celebrate her success with Kelce at his new mansion.

Travis Kelce, also 34, had a subtle but sweet reaction to Swift’s shoutout during her acceptance speech for Video of the Year at the awards show. After Swift thanked him on stage, Kelce showed his support by liking a video of the moment shared on MTV’s official Instagram account.

In the clip, Swift referred to Kelce as her “boyfriend,” marking the first time she has publicly acknowledged their relationship in such a way during an awards ceremony.

During her speech, Swift, who won a total of seven Moonmen trophies, including Artist of the Year, praised Kelce for his support while she was filming the music video for her collaboration with Post Malone for Fortnite. “The thing I’ll always remember is when I finish a take and I say cut, and we’re done with that take, I always hear someone cheering from the other side of the studio… and that person is my boyfriend, Travis,” Swift said on stage, to the delight of fans. “Everything this man touches brings happiness, joy, and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”

Although Kelce was unable to attend the VMAs in person due to his NFL training schedule with the Kansas City Chiefs, he made sure to wish Swift luck during the Wednesday episode of his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. “Hopefully Taylor can win a few. She’s nominated for like 10 tonight,” Travis said ahead of the show. “Hopefully she can win some Moon People awards… that’s always one of the coolest trophies.”

With the NFL season in full swing, Kelce’s busy schedule has kept him from accompanying Swift to many public events, but the couple continues to support each other from afar. Their relationship, which began last summer, has been a topic of excitement for fans, especially as they’ve been seen attending high-profile events together, including the U.S. Open and a wedding in New York City earlier in the month.

Now, with Swift’s VMA success and Kelce’s NFL season ramping up, the couple seems to be balancing their busy schedules while making time to celebrate each other’s accomplishments. Fans eagerly await more public appearances and moments between the pop icon and the NFL star as their relationship continues to grow.
