    Yes; the pop star gave a special shout out to her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during her acceptance speech for video of the year.

    "When I'd finish a take, and I'd say cut, and we'd be done with that take, I'd always just hear someone like cheering and like 'whoo' from across the studio," she said. "And that one person was my boyfriend Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic."

    Kelce did not make an appearance at the VMAs as he's likely practicing with the Chiefs ahead of their game Sunday in Kansas City against the Cincinnati Bengals.
