Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have mastered the art of stealing the spotlight—either with clutch plays, or with record-breaking award wins. Their worlds shouldn’t mix this seamlessly, yet here we are, living in the ultimate crossover event. Whether it’s a sideline celebration, a surprise concert, or an award appearance, these two keep fans hooked. And just when you think the Kelce-Swift buzz might slow down, it finds a new twist—because in this story, the supporting cast is just as legendary.
After her historic Eras tour, Swift is out there turning heads whether with six nominations for Grammys or with the Tour of the Century award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday. And if you’re thinking that Swift might have secured a couple of awards this time—think again. Because according to Billboard, the songstress just won a record-breaking nine awards. And guess who’s here to celebrate her achievements?
It’s none other than Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce. On Tuesday, Donna took to her Instagram handle and shared a post while celebrating Swift’s sweep at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Her awards include Artist of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration (Fortnight – Post Malone), Favorite Tour Tradition (22 hat), Best Lyrics (Fortnight), Best Music Video (Fortnight), Favorite Tour Style (Eras Tour), Favorite On Screen (The Eras Tour), and of course, Favorite Surprise Guest (Travis Kelce on stage at London show).
Oh, and she also took home the Tour of the Century Award. Uff! A lot of wins in a single night. No wonder why Travis Kelce’s mom had to hit up her IG handle and celebrate her achievements. But that’s Taylor Swift doing Taylor Swift things, isn’t she? Of course, she didn’t secure a Grammy this year, but her record-breaking award wins last night was a treat for her fans. The catch?
Well, sadly, the 35-year-old global sensation didn’t attend the awards night in person that took place in LA. BUT! She’s not the one to let her fans feel her absence. In fact, she shared a video message and thanked her fans as she accepted the Tour of the Century award.
“I really can’t tell you how much this means to me because this, on behalf of my tour mates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew… this is actually the two-year anniversary of the first show of the Eras Tour, so I’ve been doing a lot of processing since I’ve been off the road these last few months,” she shared in her virtual appearance at iHeart Awards.
That said, while Donna is out here hyping up Swift’s big night, the internet is buzzing about something bigger—and it’s not about Kelce’s return for the 13th season.
Can we expect Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to get engaged?
Prior to the Super Bowl LIX showdown between the Chiefs and the Eagles, rumors suggested that Travis Kelce would propose Taylor Swift. But nope, following a disastrous loss to the Eagles, fans were left waiting—because neither a Super Bowl ring nor an engagement ring came that night. On one side, Kelce was reportedly considering retirement, while on the other, Swift was out of the public spotlight for most of the time.
Fast forward, Kelce is returning for his 13th season with the Kansas City team and Swift is out there winning awards. With that, the reports are swirling around the internet that an engagement is on the cards pretty soon. See, Swift is now finished with her Eras tour while Kelce has already wrapped up his 12th season with the Chiefs. Enter Us Weekly’s reports that suggest that the couple is planning to travel during their off time.
“Those close to them actually think [Travis may do it] while they’re on vacation,” as per Us Weekly’s insider. “Taylor wants to go to multiple places in Europe and somewhere tropical.” And the best part? Well, according to Us Weekly’s source, Kelce and Swift are “madly in love” and are surely looking to enjoy their off time after a hectic work schedule.
“There’s no way to have a relationship when they’re all over the place with work,” the insider said. “It’s going to be easier now to find time to go over plans and make sure everything aligns.” To make things even spicier, another source at Us Weekly chimed in and stated that Kelce and Swift are ready to move forward in their relationship while adding, “They are both on the same page about taking the next step.”
Well, their engagement date is not out yet. However, as per the reports, the couple may plan their engagement in early December this year. Though the couple is ready to take a step forward in their relationship, they’re not reportedly rushing it. At the end of the day, these are still rumors. But one thing’s for sure: the fans can hope for a good news anytime soon.
