After clinching the best pop vocal album award for “Midnights,” Taylor Swift wasted no time in expressing her gratitude to her fans and dropping her bombshell album announcement. “I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out April 19th,” she said. With no nod to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, it didn’t take long for fans to hit social media, buzzing about what they saw as a deliberate omission.
Nick422 posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, “Taylor Swift doesn’t thank Travis Kelce in her Grammy acceptance speech. Is there trouble in paradise?” Meanwhile, others suggested that the broadcasts should’ve cut to live video of Kelce during her speech like stations do to Swift during Kansas City Chiefs games. In fact, quite a few users alluded to showing Kelce during the acceptance speech.
Insiders told TMZ that Kelce would be unable to attend the Grammys with Swift because of strict pre-Super Bowl schedules. The outlet noted that the Chiefs traveled to Las Vegas the weekend of the Grammy Awards in preparation for the Super Bowl the following weekend.
