Taylor Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce finally made their awards show debut on Thursday.
The superstar, 36, and the football player, 36, cut a glamorous pair while attending the star-studded 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
The duo skipped the red carpet but cozied up inside as they posed for photos.
The Love Story hitmaker wowed onlookers in a leggy mint green look that featured a fitted miniskirt and a low-cut corset top with sparkly pink embroidery with fringe.
Swift is the most-nominated artist this year with a total of nine nods, including Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for The Fate of Ophelia, from her hit 2025 record, The Life of a Showgirl.
It is a fitting coincidence that Swift’s first awards show outing of the year falls on the ceremony’s 13th anniversary, with fans speculating that the superstar might again use her lucky number to drop a major announcement.
