Another day, another Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce moment. And tbh, we can't get enough. The pair have essentially been joined at the hip since starting dating back in the summer of 2023, and with their wedding just around the corner (June 13th, mark your diaries!), the couple are apparently feeling the love.

The pop superstar took to the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026 on March 26th 2026, to accept yet another award for her musicianship — this time, swooping Best Pop Album for her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl (which was, undeniably, a bop).

"The album, The Life of a Showgirl, was really inspired by the energy that I felt, like looking into crowds and seeing you guys and connecting with you every single night," Taylor Swift said as she accepted the award — in a stunning custom Wiederhoeft gown. “And so the album came out with this energy of just feeling really happy and strong and confident and free. And so I want to say thank you to the fans for giving me that feeling.”

But that wasn't the biggest news of the night. No, it was the shout-out that she gave to fiancé Travis Kelce that has grabbed headlines.

"I think that this album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that's the way that I get to feel every single day of my life, because of my fiancé, who's here too. So, thanks for all the vibes," she said. Swifties will recognise the last line being a nod to her song, The Fate of Ophelia #ifyouknowyouknow.

We're glad that Taylor's feeling the lovey-dovey vibes ahead of her summer wedding, which will be here in a matter of months. As mentioned, it's on June 13th — fans will know about the singer's long obsession with the number 13. In terms of venue, there are multiple reports that suggest the couple may be eyeing the Ocean House Watch Hill as a potential location. Plus, Swift has long had a connection to Rhode Island, with a house there that inspired the last great American dynasty, making the location feel on-brand for her. And bridesmaids? We're expecting Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Blake Lively to be in the line-up — but we guess we'll just have to wait for the big day to find out! The anticipation is killing us.
