With the recent engagement news about everyone’s favorite power couple, the question is: Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce going to VMAs 2025?
The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards will take place on Sunday, September 7, at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, and in the past, Swift has been known to sit — and dance — in the front row. The musician became the most awarded artist at the VMAs last year after she took home seven new Moon Man trophies, putting her total VMA wins at 30. And while fans are eagerly awaiting a TayVis red carpet moment (and maybe another “T” charm), it seems that this year, The Life of a Showgirl musician might be skipping the big event.
Whether Swift goes to the award show or not, the VMAs won’t be starved for A-list power. The line-up of performers this year includes Lady Gaga, KATSEYE, Sabrina Carpenter (returning for the second year in a row), Alex Warren, J Balvin, and more.
What is Taylor Swift nominated for at VMAs 2025?
Swift was nominated for Artist of the Year at the 2025 VMAs. While Swift’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, was heavily awarded at last year’s VMAs, the singer’s next album won’t be coming out until October 3.
Did Swift attend the VMAs last year? Did Travis?
Swift was at the 2024 VMAs, wearing a plaid corset top and train from Dior. The artist attended the ceremony without Travis Kelce after being spotted out together at a string of public-facing events, including the US Open and the Chiefs’ home opener. While Kelce wasn’t there in person, Swift made sure to thank him in her Video of the Year acceptance speech for “Fortnight.”
“That one person [cheering] was my boyfriend, Travis,” Swift said to raucous applause. “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”
What have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce been up to since their engagement?
Since Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on August 26 in a sweet series of photos on Instagram, the high-profile couple hasn’t slowed down. Just two days after their announcement, Swift and Kelce were sitting in a suite to watch the Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers play at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. They were joined by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes. Swift’s massive diamond ring took center stage in photos.
Swift was then featured in Brittany Mahomes’ birthday Instagram dump on September 4, celebrating with fellow Chiefs’ WAGs. The group celebrated in Nashville, and Swift was pictured holding a glass on Mahomes’s head
Is there a Chiefs game during the 2025 VMAs?
No. Instead of playing on a typical Sunday, Thursday, or Monday game, the Kansas City Chiefs held their season opener on Friday, September 5, in São Paolo, Brazil, against the Los Angeles Chargers. Swift did not attend the game, and it’s unclear if she’ll be at the home opener in Kansas City on September 14.
Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce go to VMAs 2025 together?
Swift will reportedly not attend the 2025 VMAs, according to E! News, which likely means she and Travis Kelce will not have their red carpet debut just yet. Will Kelce attend on his own? Most likely not, as he did just kick off his 13th season in the NFL.
