Fans believe Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, filmed her acceptance speech for her 'Tour of the Century Award' at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday (March 17).

Several Swifties claimed that they could see Kelce in the reflection of Swift's shiny trophy.

“HELP the reflection on the award,” a TikTok user wrote in the caption of a video zoomed in on the award during Swift's speech shared on Wednesday (March 19). “HI TRAVIS.”

The claim was met with various responses, with some followers calling it "delusional" and claiming it "could be anyone," while others were sure it was Kelce.

“It’s [a] tall person standing further back, holding the camera out like Trav did at one of her concerts, recording her dancing, looks so similar," one user wrote.

 “‘It could be anyone.’ who else would it be like lets be serious 😭," another wrote arguing against the doubter.

“Remember he is also a millennial too and took pictures and videos of her during her tour so I can only imagine he was beyond excited to take this," another user wrote, though also acknowledging that it was a "stretch" to assume Kelce was filming the video.

Kelce, who finished Super Bowl LIX with four receptions for 39 yards, mulled retirement before ultimately deciding to return for his 13th NFL season and previously revealed that Swift's music helped lift his mood after the loss. Travis and his brother, retired former Eagles center Jason Kelce, discussed his post-Super Bowl depression, with the elder Kelce asking if he was listening to "sad music" during an episode of their New Heights podcast last month.

"Jason, the only way you can find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first. Right. I listen to music that is very telling of my mood.

“I just listen to Taylor's music. She has something for everything," Travis responded when Jason said he would personally listen to "sad country songs."

“That's fair. That's a good point. No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music," Jason responded.

“And how the Eagles broke my heart,” Travis added.

Travis famously revealed that he attempted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number when he attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium prior to their relationship in 2023. Swift later said that the three-time Super Bowl champion "very adorably put me on blast" when he acknowledged the situation on his podcast, which she said "was metal as hell" while being featured as Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' in December 2023.
