“To the fans: I always try to find a way to thank you for making my life what it is, for making the Eras tour what it has become, for making the Tortured Poets Department what it has become,” Swift said in her speech. “That’s all you did and for voting for this award. So thank you to MTV for giving me this opportunity to thank the fans, to thank you for what you have done.”
Taylor Swift thanks Travis Kelce in her acceptance speech
And while she was giving her acceptance speech, she thanked Travis Kelce and remind fans to vote in the upcoming presidential election. “I kept hearing someone cheering from across the studio, like, ‘Whoo!’ – that one person was my friend Travis,” the 14-time Grammy winner recalled, drawing shrill screams from fans in the audience at New York’s UBS Arena. “Everything that man touches turns into happiness, fun and magic, so I want to thank him for bringing that to our shoot.”
Insiders suspect Kelce is proud of Swift’s bold stance and is preparing to reiterate her support in the coming days. Sources close to the NFL star say he shares Swift’s political views and will likely use his platform to support Harris soon. Kelce’s political alignment with Swift further cements their status as a power couple and demonstrates their shared values both on and off the field.
Taylor Swift is tied with Beyoncé as the most awarded VMA winner of all time, overtaking the latter as a solo artist with 23 VMAs. She would have 25 on her own. Beyoncé was nominated for three awards this year but was unable to add any new trophies to her collection. Swift’s seven wins put her just ahead of Beyoncé as a solo artist.
