Travis Kelce has a sweet reaction to Taylor Swift’s adorable VMAs shoutout to her ‘boyfriend’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Travis Kelce's reaction to Taylor Swift's heartfelt VMAs speech is lighting up social media after he discovered it on MTV's official Instagram page.

Swift, who took home an impressive seven Moon Person trophies, including Artist of the Year, made headlines on September 11 when she publicly thanked Kelce during her acceptance speech for Video of the Year.

For the first time, the 34-year-old superstar openly referred to Kelce as her "boyfriend" from the stage in New York City, leaving Swifties buzzing with excitement over the personal shout-out.

Travis Kelce showed his support for his girlfriend Taylor Swift from afar after she thanked him in her VMAs acceptance speech. Swift, who won Video of the Year for her 'Fortnight' music video, publicly acknowledged Kelce on stage for his support and the 'magic' he brings into her life.

Although Kelce couldn’t attend the event at UBS Arena in New York, he reacted to Swift's speech by liking an Instagram video posted by MTV, which tagged both of them with the caption, "One person ONLY cheers louder for @taylorswift than I do – and that's @killatrav #VMAs.'"

During her speech, Swift specifically praised Kelce for his support during the 'Fortnight' video shoot. "I would always just hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting [the music video]," she said. "And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns into happiness and fun and magic, and I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I'll always remember that."

Swift, who was nominated for 12 VMAs, ended the night with seven awards for her album 'The Tortured Poets Department'. The couple, publicly dating since last year, was spotted enjoying themselves at the US Open over the weekend.

Travis discussed the event on his 'New Heights' podcast, marveling at the immense crowd and the excitement of the final game, noting how many familiar faces were there.

However, due to their high-profile relationship, Swift has reportedly set some boundaries. A source told Life & Style, "Travis loves to show Taylor off, she appreciates it but she's cautioning him from revealing too much about their private lives." 

Despite this, the couple remains supportive of each other, with Swift frequently attending Chiefs games and Kelce joining her on her Eras Tour.

The Chiefs are set to host the Bengals in Kansas City on Sunday, but it's uncertain if Swift will be there for the second week in a row after watching Kelce's game against the Ravens.

One user said, "Best couples 2024! Love them so much."

While one user added, "She needs the next 2 or 3 albums!!! Good or bad it will be about Travis!!!!," another social media user slammed, “For a year she didn't say one word about him, but as soon as the contract came out she all of a sudden can't stop praising him.”

Someone else mocked, “ If he's brought her magic, perhaps he'll magically disappear!” and one individual declared, “ Every day they are trying harder to prove their love isn't fake!lol”
