Taylor Swift Refers to Travis Kelce as Her 'Boyfriend' for First Time in Emotional VMAs Speech

Taylor Swift did not just thank her "Fortnight" collaborators, her boyfriend Travis Kelce (whose "touches turns into happiness, fun and magic") and "The Eras Tour" team, she also used her voice to make a very important shout-out at the MTV VMAs 2024 during her acceptance speech for Video of the Year.

On stage, Swift was joined by Post Malone and her song's producers as she pleaded, "If you're over 18 please register to vote for something else that is important — the Presidential election."

This wasn't the first time Swift spoke about the November 5 elections.

On September 10, Swift made her endorsement clear by announcing her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential race after watching the recent debate.

"If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."

Swift's declaration put an end to any lingering questions and doubts about her political stance as the November election approaches.

"Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site."

The 34-year-old singer expressed, "It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election."

Politiko reported that the 14-time Grammy winner's Instagram post garnered over 9 million "likes."
