Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce looked more loved-up than ever during a rare joint appearance at an awards show.

The couple stepped out for the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday, March 26.

Posing for photos together, Swift and Kelce, both 36, were all smiles inside the venue as they cozied up. The engaged couple were also snapped candidly looking into each other’s eyes.

The “Gorgeous” singer looked ethereal in a pale green corset and matching mini skirt, while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end rocked a leather jacket over a black shirt.

When Swift won the award for Best Pop Album for The Life of a Showgirl, she made sure to credit Kelce for inspiring its upbeat vibes.

“This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who is here tonight,” Swift told the crowd while smiling. “So, thanks for the vibes.”

During the night, Swift was also spotted serenading Kelce and showing off her engagement ring as Raye performed “Where the Hell Is My Husband?” on stage.

After two years of dating, Swift and Kelce announced their engagement via social media in August 2025.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they captioned a joint Instagram post.

In October 2025, Swift gushed on The Graham Norton Show about how well Kelce managed to pull off the romantic proposal.

“He really crushed it in surprising me. While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in,” she said. “He went all out — 10 out of 10.”

Although details of the wedding’s location or date have not been publicly released, planning is already underway.

A source exclusively shared with Luxury Handbag Shopping in September 2025 that Swift and Kelce had entered the “early planning stages” for the big day.

“There is no venue or location set yet,” the insider said, adding that the wedding date would likely be set for 2026.

“[Swift] is having so much fun researching venues and locations,” the source added. “She’s in the ideation phase and enjoying it because she’s so creative.”

Swift and Kelce have been dating since the summer of 2023. Nearly one year into their relationship, she dropped her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, in April 2024, with two songs believed to be about Kelce.

Swift dropped her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, in October 2025. Several songs on the album are rumored to be about Kelce, including “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Wood” and “Elizabeth Taylor.”

In a December 2023 Time interview, Swift spoke about making her relationship with Kelce public.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she explained to the magazine at the time.

The couple have publicly supported each other multiple times throughout their relationship. Swift has gone to a number of Kelce’s football games, including the 2024 and 2025 Super Bowl. He also went to several of Swift’s Eras Tour shows and even danced on stage with her in London.
