How Travis Kelce Supported Taylor Swift at the VMAs 2026 from Afar

Travis Kelce is always Taylor Swift’s cheer captain.

While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wasn’t able to accompany the Grammy winner to the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles Sept. 27, he made sure to send his love and support.

After all, Kelce—who has an away game in Miami—proved he was still seeing his wife’s face in his mind by “liking” social media posts showing Swift on the VMAs blue carpet.

Indeed, eagle-eyed Swifties noticed that the athlete hearted a photo and a video of Swift posted by Billboard on Instagram Sept. 27.

And while Kelce’s NFL schedule kept him from being there in person, his love for Swift was still represented on her special night as the “Patient Zero” artist had her engagement ring and wedding band on display to accompany her show-stopping look.

For the award show, Swift stunned in a form-fitting black halter gown featuring an asymmetrical silver skirt. Along with her rings, she accessorized the look with Leviev diamond earrings.

And though she didn’t have Kelce by her side, it was truly an enchanting evening for the “Fate of Ophelia” singer as she broke VMA records, becoming the most awarded artist in the show’s history.

Swift achieved the milestone after she won the first-ever recipient of the Artist-Director award, an honor bestowed to a musician “whose work behind the camera has expanded the possibilities of music video and advanced the art of visual storytelling,” according to a press release from MTV.

Rihanna Celebrates Daughter Rocki's First Birthday With Never-Before-Seen Photos and Videos

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's daughter Rocki is shining bright on her big day.

The “Diamonds” singer shared rare photos of her and the “Sundress” hitmaker’s little girl in honor of the toddler’s first birthday—and it’s safe to say she’s her mother’s daughter.

In the first clip shared to Rihanna’s Instagram Sept. 26, it seems Rocki got her name from being able to rock any look. After all, the toddler was filmed in her highchair as she sported one of her mom’s wigs.

As Rihanna said in the clip through laughs, “Wow, baby.”

Another adorable snap sealed the deal that the 12-month-old is following in her mom’s beauty-loving footsteps as she was seen wearing pink hair curlers. Meanwhile, separate footage showed a glammed up Rocki playing with a product from her mom’s Fenty beauty line.

Plus, the tot showed off her passion for fashion as she played with her mom’s Louis Vuitton bag in separate video. And after the Grammy winner took the bag from her daughter—who was dressed in a tan onesie—she had four five seconds to hand the goods back over as Rocki began to cry, only to be soothed after the designer duds were back in her possession.
