Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s ‘Surprise’ Collaboration Could Win a Big Award

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are proving that work and play actually do mix—and even have the potential to win an award.

After the nominations for the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards were announced on Wednesday, Jan. 22, Swift, 35, walked away at the top of the list with an impressive 10 nods, tying country star Morgan Wallen for the most nominations.

One of the awards she is in the running for includes a new category, Favorite Surprise Guest, for which Kelce, 35, was also nominated.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end famously made his onstage debut during one of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts at Wembley Stadium in London last June, joining his girlfriend for the Tortured Poets Department section of her hours-long set.

The couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023, are up against Charli XCX and Lorde; Coldplay and Selena Gomez; GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B; Niall Horan and Shawn Mendes; Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan and more.

Kelce is nominated twice in the category, the first for his appearance with Swift and the second for his appearance with Wallen and Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes.

Meanwhile, some of the accolades Swift—whose record-breaking Eras Tour wrapped in December—is nominated for include Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration for her song “Fortnight” with Post Malone, Pop Artist of the Year and more.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards are slated to take place on Monday, March 17, airing on FOX at 8 p.m. ET.
