During her acceptance speeches at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday night, Taylor Swift did not mention her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

When Celine Dion announced that Swift’s album 'Midnights' had won Album of the Year, the visibly surprised singer, looking glamorous in a custom Schiaparelli outfit, ascended the stage with her friends Lana Del Rey and Jack Antonoff.

Swift, who announced her new album, 'Tortured Poets Department,' praised Antonoff as a "once-in-a-generation producer" and hailed Del Rey as a "legend".

However, she did not acknowledge Kelce, whom she has been in a relationship with since the summer.

"All I want to do is keep being able to do this," Swift shared while accepting the award. "I love it so much. It makes me so happy."

"It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award, too. All I want to do is keep doing this," per Page Six.

Travis Kelce still supports his GF Taylor Swift



 

The NFL star was absent from the awards show as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, had traveled to Las Vegas earlier that Sunday to gear up for their match against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

However, this didn't deter the NFL star from showing support for his partner. Travis, 34, showed his approval by "liking" an Instagram post by NPR, which featured Taylor, also 34, gracing the red carpet at the event on Sunday, February 4.

Swift's fans, were quick to spot this and filled the comments section with praises for the tight end’s understated show of support.

A Swiftie commented, "Dad just liked mom's picture!!" Another user gushed, "TRAVIS LIKED😭😭😭".

"Travis liking!! He probably be staring at that photo right now," added another. 

Travis shared on the January 31 episode of 'The Pat McAfee Show', "I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award that she's nominated for." 

"But I think I got practice on Sunday, or I think Sunday is a travel day. I know I got practice on Saturday. But Sunday is travel day."

Internet questions as Taylor Swift excludes Travis Kelce from her Grammy speeches

Numerous fans questioned the necessity of Taylor Swift mentioning Travis Kelce in her victory speeches.

"Thank him for what?" asked a fan on Facebook

Another person noted, "She earned them in her own!"

One fan opined, "No reason to! Even know I love the love story he didn’t help her to get there."

"Stop it! They haven’t dated longest enough for him to have impacted her music. She doesn’t owe him a thank you," added another.

One fan questioned, "Why should she? He wasn't even with her when she was making her music he's new."

"Why would she? She was a singer before he came into her life, and will be a part of one of her songs eventually. She can thank him at that time." asked another.

"He had nothing to do with Midnights, so why would she?" noted another fan. 

Another Swiftie said, "So what? They’re not married and she’s had a successful career for years, long before she ever met him."

"Thank him for what?? He wasn’t there when she made the album she was winning the award for," suggested another. 

"Until he puts a ring on it and says "I do"..." mentioned another. 

"Why would she? She didn't even know him when she made that album," added another. 

"Why should she thank him? He has nothing to do with her success! That’s quite an over reach," expressed another fan.
