Swift, 34, sent fans into a frenzy after giving a special shout-out to Kelce, also 34, onstage –– and publicly calling him her “boyfriend” for the first time.
“I would always just hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting [the ‘Fortnight’ music video ],” she recalled while proudly holding her Moon Person trophy.
“And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis,” she said while the audience roared. “Everything this man touches turns into happiness and fun and magic, and I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”
Kelce was not in attendance to see the speech, as Page Six previously reported that he had to stay in Kansas City, Mo., for practice with his team ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
The “Cruel Summer” singer had quite the successful night, making history by becoming the artist with the most VMA wins. She took home seven awards this year, bringing her career total to a whopping 30.
