- Taylor Swift dominated the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards fan categories — and so did Travis Kelce.
At the awards ceremony taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Swift, 35, won several fan-voted awards including favorite tour style for her Eras Tour wardrobe, favorite tour tradition for featuring surprise songs on her Eras Tour, best music video for “Fortnight” with Post Malone, and favorite on screen for the Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) movie.
Swift also took home the favorite surprise guest award with boyfriend, Kelce, 35, who made a surprise appearance during her Eras Tour at a London show at Wembley Stadium. The football star appeared during the “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” costume change skit, leaving the audience shocked.
“I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut 🥰 Never going to forget these shows,” the 14-time Grammy winner wrote on Instagram following his appearance.
Though she wasn’t in attendance, Swift accepted the tour of the century award with a video dedicated to the impressive honor. “I really can’t tell you how much this means to me because I accept this on behalf of all my tourmates, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew,” she said in a pre-recorded video.
- The “Cruel Summer” singer pointed out that it was the two-year anniversary of the Eras Tour starting and she was processing what it’s been like off the road since.
“People often say that sometimes the greatest challenges in life end up being something that you are so proud of or end up being the most gratifying feeling in the end if you can rise to the occasion. And this tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
“It’s a three-and-a-half-hour show, more shows than I’ve ever done on a tour and it really was the most gratifying thing I’ve ever done. I think about that tour constantly. I’m so proud of it,” she continued.
“And the only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans.”
Swift concluded her speech thanking her Swifties for their support. “You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world.”
“It blows my mind,” she added. “I’m never gonna stop being grateful for it. And I appreciate it more than you know.” Swift also debuted a clip of her singing an acoustic version of “mirrorball” at the first Eras Tour show as a surprise song.
- Swift kicked off the Eras Tour on March 17, 2023 in Glendale, Ariz. — two years to the date of the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards show.
Throughout the record-breaking string of concerts, she performed on five different continents, putting on hundreds of concerts in dozens of cities (many of which Kelce attended).
The tour ended in December in Vancouver 2024. To celebrate the impressive run, Kelce threw Swift a surprise Eras Tour-themed party, complete with friendship bracelets and “willow” capes.
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards air live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, March 17, at 8 p.m. ET on FOX. Fans can also tune in live to iHeartRadio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app.
