Taylor Swift can't stop coming out on top.
The international music sensation went home with an armful of hardware Wednesday at MTV's Video Music Awards. Swift won seven awards on the night, giving her the most career VMA wins for a solo artist.
One of those awards came in the top category, video of the year, for "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone. During her acceptance speech, the 34-year-old made sure to give a shout out to her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who is a star in his own right.
While his girlfriend is off winning awards, Kelce is one game, and one win, into the 2024 season with the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. The 34-year-old tight end started off with a quiet performance against the Ravens in Kansas City's season opener, but figures to once again be a top target for Patrick Mahomes.

Kelce was not in attendance at the 2024 VMAs.
The music award show was held Wednesday night at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. Considering the NFL season is in full swing, Kelce is preparing for the Chiefs' next game in Kansas City, where he and the Chiefs are getting set to host Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Sunday afternoon.
