Taylor Swift makes unprecedented move during touching message for Travis Kelce at VMAs

Last night's VMAs saw Taylor Swift take home a whopping seven awards that celebrate her illustrious career - and the songstress decided to do things a bit different by giving boyfriend Travis Kelce a shout out.

Swift, who shot to fame way back in 2008 following the release of her country hit 'Love Story', is perhaps one of the most famous people on the planet.

She is currently in the midst of her phenomenal 'Eras Tour', which has since run a number of sold out shows all over the world after kicking off in March 2023.

And the singer made history at last night's awards and earned the 30th award of her career so far - giving her title of the most decorated solo artist of all time in VMAs history.

When collecting her award for the 'Fortnight' music video alongside Post Malone - in what is an unprecedented move for the singer - Swift commended her NFL star boyfriend, Kelce, for his help with the shoot.

She said: "You know, the thing is that this video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was like the most fun video to make and something I will always remember is that when I would finish a take and I would say 'cut' and we'd be done with the take, I would always just hear someone cheering and saying 'woo' from across the studio where we were shooting it - and that one person was my boyfriend, Travis.

"Everything this man touches turns into happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I will always remember that."

Aside from Kelce, Swift thanked others, too.

She continued to say: "'Thank you. Directing this video and putting it together and writing was the most wonderful experience and that's because of all the people that I got to make it with.

"And that includes Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, who were amazing. That includes my amazing cinematographer who goes out of his way to work with a female director.

"He's a genius and I can't believe I got to work with him as well as my amazing production designer that I worked with on the Eras Tour."

She then thanked 'Post Malone who we all love so much'. And of course, it wouldn't be Swift if she didn't also thank her Swifties.

Turning her attention to her fans, she added: "To the fans, I'm always trying to figure out a way to say thank you to you for making my life what it is, for making the Eras Tour for what it's become, for making the Poet's Department what it's become.

"That's all you guys in voting for this award, so thank you MTV for giving me this opportunity.

"To the fans, thank you."
