Taylor Swift brought a good luck charm to the 2026 iHeartMusic Awards on Thursday night: Travis Kelce.

The pop superstar was the big winner of the night, with seven awards including Artist of the Year. For her first trip up to the podium at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood — to accept Album of the Year for *The Life of a Showgirl* — she revealed the influence of its "vibe."

“The album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, was really inspired by the energy that I felt, like, looking into crowds and seeing you guys and connecting with you every single night” during the Eras Tour, Swift told the crowd. “And so the album came out with this energy of just feeling really happy and strong and confident and free. And so I want to say thank you to the fans for giving me that feeling.”

"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's here tonight," Taylor gushed, as the camera cut to Kelce in the audience.

"I love you," mouthed the NFL star.

Later in the show during Raye's live performance of "Where Is My Husband," Swift and Kelce were seen in the audience dancing along.

When the British singer got to the chorus — "Where is my husband / What is taking him so long to find me" — Swift playfully sang the lyrics to her husband-to-be.
