Taylor Swift was honored with the prestigious Tour of the Century award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards for her phenomenal Eras Tour. Although she couldn’t attend the ceremony, she delivered a heartfelt video acceptance speech, thanking fans, her band, and crew. The speech marked the two-year anniversary of the tour’s first show, which Swift described as “the most challenging thing” she had ever done, yet “the most fulfilling experience” of her life.
Fans are speculating that Swift’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, might have helped record her speech. A TikTok video sparked theories as it appeared to show a reflection in the trophy, with many believing it could be Kelce holding the camera. Some fans pointed out that the reflection could be anyone, while others noted that Kelce and Swift were recently together in New York.
Swift’s speech highlighted the tour’s challenges and her gratitude to fans. She emphasized that the tour’s success was due to their passion and support, allowing her to perform a 3.5-hour setlist across numerous countries. Alongside the Tour of the Century award, Swift won several other categories, including favorite tour style and best music video.
Donna Kelce, Travis’s mother, celebrated Swift’s wins on Instagram, further solidifying the couple’s connection to the event. Meanwhile, Swift and Kelce also won the favorite surprise guest award for his appearance during her Eras Tour in London.
Swift’s relationship with Kelce has been under scrutiny, especially after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss. There are rumors that Swift advised Kelce not to retire, wanting him to end his career on a high note. Despite the Super Bowl loss, Swift has been a constant supporter of Kelce, attending several of his games and celebrating his victories.
The couple’s relationship timeline includes public appearances and heartfelt moments, such as when Swift joined Kelce on the field after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship. Speculation about an engagement has also been circulating, though nothing has been confirmed.
In her acceptance speech, Swift did not mention Kelce directly, but her fans continue to speculate about his involvement in her life and career. The couple’s dynamic has captured the attention of fans worldwide, blending music and sports in a unique way.
