Travis Kelce didn’t attend this year’s VMAs, but word spread online. Taylor Swift, his girlfriend, mentioned him in her acceptance speech.
Before the ceremony, a media outlet explained Travis Kelce’s absence. Taylor mentioned him throughout the show, but some fans think he skipped it for a reason.
Travis Kelce couldn’t attend the VMAs at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, due to work, according to Page Six. Taylor Swift’s big night was on Wednesday, September 11.
This follows the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 27-20 win against the Baltimore Ravens.
Page Six’s explanation for Travis Kelce missing the VMAs didn’t convince some netizens. Many posted theories on social media about why he skipped the event.
Some commented, “I think he’s not at Taylor’s award show because he’s not interested in her! More concerned with his career.” Another said, “He obviously doesn’t have time to have a matching dress made.”
Despite breakup rumors, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have not addressed them.
Taylor Swift even thanked her partner during her VMA acceptance speech, indicating no breakup.
The crowd went wild when Taylor Swift called Travis Kelce her boyfriend. She said, “Everything this man touches is happy, fun, and magic. I appreciate him adding that to our shot because I’ll always remember it.”
Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech online was met with less enthusiasm than at the VMAs. Some netizens believe the event had a hidden agenda, suggesting there may be more to the story.
One Instagram user said, “She had to mention [Kelce], it’s part of the ‘arrangement.’” Another user said, “[I]ll] always remember that. Their contract ends soon. It appears that there may be an agreement or deadline affecting their relationship (💀).
Another observer said, “He is loving the fame.. 😂,” while another voiced frustration, “Not a fan of hers anymore! Really, never was!”
