Donna Kelce is one of the many Swifties celebrating Taylor Swift’s 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards success.
Mama Kelce, 72, reposted a graphic listing all of Swift’s nominations and awards via Instagram on Monday, March 18. “Taylor was nominated for ten awards tonight at the IHeart Radio Awards,” the post read, listing Swift’s 10 awards nods. Eagle-eyed fans may notice the heart emojis listed next to each of Swift’s nominations matched the colors associated with her first 10 studio albums, from her self-titled debut album to Midnights.
The graphic went on to note that out of Swift’s eight wins, six of them were “fan-voted awards,” including Favorite Surprise Guest for Travis Kelce’s surprise Eras Tour cameo in London in June 2024. “Besides these, she also took home Tour of the Century for her Eras Tour,” the post added. Donna let the graphic speak for itself and didn’t write a caption.
Swift, 35, was absent at the Sunday, March 17, awards ceremony, where she also took home wins for Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department, Favorite Tour Tradition for her Eras Tour surprise songs, Best Lyrics and Best Music Video for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, Favorite Tour Style and Favorite On Screen for her October 2023 Eras Tour film. She did, however, send in a video acceptance speech.

“This is amazing, hi, thank you so much to iHeart and thank you mainly to the fans,” Swift said while accepting her Tour of the Century award. “I really can’t tell you how much this means to me because I accept this on behalf of all my tourmates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew.”
The award was bittersweet, as she received it on the second anniversary of her first Eras Tour show in March 2023. “I think about that tour constantly. I’m so proud of it,” Swift gushed. “And the only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows, all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans.”
In honor of her big win, Swift debuted an exclusive clip from the surprise songs section of her first-ever Eras Tour show, during which she performed “Mirrorball” from her album Folklore. “I love you,” she told the crowd, adding, “I need your attention always.”
Just like Travis, 35, supported Swift at several of her Eras Tour shows, Donna attended the tour with Jason and Kylie Kelce in Miami in October 2024. Swift has formed a sweet bond with Travis’ mother since she began dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in 2023, with the pair often cheering him on at NFL games together.
Swift’s iHeartRadio Music Awards absence comes as she and Travis are enjoying time off from touring and football. “Taylor and Travis are taking it easy right now. They’ve been laying low in Kansas City,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month.
A second insider noted that the couple have been traveling and “spending precious time together and letting the rest of the world go for a bit.” Swift and Travis followed up a March 10 outing in Park City, Utah, with back-to-back dates in New York City on March 13 and 14.
