Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were the talk of the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
While they’ve been together for more than two years, the couple made their awards show debut on Thursday, March 26, at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre.
Swift, 36, walked the red carpet solo in a seafoam green corset and matching miniskirt, but she was joined by Kelce, 36, inside the ceremony. The camerapeople made sure to show off the duo any time they could.
They even smiled backstage at the event while posing with Olympian Alyssa Liu. Swift held a thumbs-up for the snap, according to a photo shared via X.

The NFL star got a special shoutout during their rare date night when Swift took home the award for Best Pop Album. The singer thanked her man for inspiring her 2025 Life of a Showgirl album.
“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,” Swift gushed. “So thanks for the vibes.”
Swift and Kelce took their relationship public in September 2023 when she was spotted at a Kansas City Chiefs football game. They’ve since become the most notable couple in Hollywood.
Fans were in for a major surprise in August 2025 when Swift announced that Kelce had proposed.
“He’s just my favorite person I’ve ever met — no offense to everyone else. But the fact that this is the person that I get to hang out with every day forever … that’s the whole thing of it,” Swift said of Kelce during an October 2025 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “You look at [the ring] and you’re like, ‘I get to hang out with him forever,’ and this represents that.”
