After receiving the “Video of the Year” accolade for “Fortnite” featuring Post Malone, the Eras Tour frontwoman took a moment to thank someone close to her heart – the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
“My boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness, fun, and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot,” the Grammy winner said, taking a moment to honor her partner who couldn’t be with her at the ceremony.
The sought-after pair have been together for over a year but have yet to make their red carpet debut. Fans hoped the two might grace the cameras outside the UBS Arena in New York, especially after they were spotted at the US Open together over the weekend.
However, the NFL player and his brother Jason confessed they wouldn’t be there before Swift stepped out solo on September 11, wishing her good luck in their absence during the recent recording of New Heights.
“Hopefully Taylor can walk away with a few! She’s nominated for about 10 of those things tonight,” Travis said after his brother admitted they both would be watching from home. “Hopefully, she can walk away with some Moonmen. Those are some of the cooler trophies.
“Stay on top! Here we go! Wishing everyone the best, though,” he added.
The Midnights performer took home more than just the coveted video award. Earlier in the night, she received the “Artist of the Year” award, “Best Collaboration,” “Best Pop,” and “Best Direction.”
