Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Steal the Show at 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards

Of course, Taylor Swift would dominate the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards—because when does she not? The pop icon swept the fan-voted categories, proving once again that her Swifties are the most dedicated fanbase on the planet. From winning Favorite Tour Style for her Eras Tour wardrobe to snagging Best Music Video for “Fortnight” with Post Malone, Swift’s trophy haul was as predictable as it was impressive. But let’s not overlook the real headline: Travis Kelce, her NFL-star boyfriend, managed to snag a surprise win alongside her for Favorite Surprise Guest. Yes, the man who awkwardly shuffled onstage during her London Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium is now an award-winning performer. Who saw that coming?
Swift, ever the gracious winner, accepted the Tour of the Century Award via a pre-recorded video, reflecting on the grueling yet rewarding journey of her Eras Tour. “This tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she said, as if we didn’t already know she’s been running marathons in heels for the past two years. She thanked her band, crew, and, of course, her fans, who apparently have the stamina of Olympic athletes to follow her across five continents.
Meanwhile, Kelce, who has been Swift’s most enthusiastic cheerleader (and occasional onstage prop), threw her a surprise Eras Tour-themed party to celebrate the tour’s conclusion. Friendship bracelets and “willow” capes? Adorable, if not slightly over-the-top. But hey, when you’re dating Taylor Swift, you’ve got to keep up with the theatrics.
The awards ceremony, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, was a love letter to Swift’s global dominance, with her acoustic rendition of “mirrorball” serving as the cherry on top. It’s almost exhausting to keep up with her achievements, but here we are, still talking about her.
