Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Taylor Swift may have been the main attraction at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, but she made sure to thank her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the process.

At the event, which was hosted by Megan Thee Stallion on Wednesday, September 11, Swift took home the Moon Person for Video of the Year for her collaboration with Post Malone on their hit “Fortnight.” Though her boyfriend, 34-year-old Kelce, was not in attendance at the star-studded event, she made sure to give him a heartfelt nod in her acceptance speech —which fans went absolutely ravenous for.

In her speech, Swift, also 34, recounted how after each take of the video shoot for the song she would hear cheering from across the studio – which turned out to be Kelce. “That one person was my boyfriend Travis,” she revealed, adding, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”
