Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Eras Tour Magic Wins Big at 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards

Los Angeles, CA – March 17, 2025 – The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards delivered a night of glittering performances and surprising victories, but one moment stood out above the rest: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s unforgettable onstage collaboration during The Eras Tour was crowned “Favorite Surprise Guest,” cementing their status as pop culture’s most captivating couple.

The award, announced during the live broadcast on FOX, celebrated a heartwarming and viral moment from Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour. In June 2024, during a sold-out show at London’s Wembley Stadium, Swift surprised 92,000 fans by inviting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, to join her on stage. The NFL star, known for his athletic prowess on the field, traded his football helmet for a playful performance alongside Swift, delighting audiences and sparking a frenzy on social media. The moment, captured in iconic photos showing Kelce grinning alongside Swift in her dazzling tour attire, became a defining highlight of the tour’s UK and European leg.

Swift, who earned an impressive 10 nominations at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards, shared the honor with Kelce, underscoring the cultural impact of their high-profile romance, which began in September 2023. The couple’s relationship, marked by public appearances, affectionate moments, and Kelce’s vocal admiration for Swift’s grueling tour schedule, has captivated fans worldwide. In a previous interview, Kelce praised Swift’s dedication, noting the physical toll of The Eras Tour, which has spanned continents and shattered box office records since its launch in 2023.

“This is such a special moment for us,” Swift said in a statement following the win. “Bringing Travis on stage was a spontaneous decision, but seeing the joy it brought to fans—and now this incredible recognition at the iHeartAwards—means the world to me. It’s a testament to the magic of live music and the love we share.”

Kelce, who is preparing for his 13th NFL season with the Chiefs in 2025, echoed Swift’s sentiments, saying, “Stepping onto that stage with Taylor was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. I’m honored to share this award with her and grateful for the fans who made this moment unforgettable.”

The “Favorite Surprise Guest” award is particularly fitting given Swift’s history of incorporating surprise elements into The Eras Tour. Throughout the tour, she has delighted audiences with acoustic sets, guest appearances from collaborators like Jack Antonoff and Haim, and unexpected song mashups. However, Kelce’s appearance stood out as a unique blend of sports and music, bridging Swift’s pop empire with his NFL stardom. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the win, with posts like “Travis all day!!” and “If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce walk the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Awards, it’s gonna break the internet” flooding the platform.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards, held on Monday, March 17, 2025, also recognized other aspects of The Eras Tour, including nominations for “Favorite Tour Style” and “Favorite On Screen.” Swift’s dominance at the ceremony reflects the tour’s monumental success, which has grossed over $1 billion and drawn millions of fans across the globe. Meanwhile, Kelce’s nomination alongside teammate Patrick Mahomes in another category highlighted his growing crossover appeal beyond football.

Despite their professional triumphs, the couple faces personal crossroads. Recent reports suggest Swift, 35, hopes Kelce, also 35, might consider retiring from the NFL to focus on their future together, including marriage and starting a family. However, Kelce has expressed his commitment to continuing his football career, with Swift remaining his “biggest cheerleader,” as he recently declared.

As The Eras Tour nears its conclusion with final shows in Toronto and Vancouver later in 2025, Swift and Kelce’s iHeartRadio win serves as a fitting tribute to their shared journey—from football fields to sold-out arenas. The moment at Wembley, now immortalized with an award, is a testament to the power of love, surprise, and the unifying force of music and sports. Fans can look forward to seeing whether the couple will attend the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet together, potentially setting the internet ablaze once more.
