Travis Kelce wins Favorite Surprise Guest Award

The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards had its fair share of memorable moments. One of them was Travis Kelce being crowned the winner of the Favorite Surprise Guest award.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce earned a joint nomination alongside his partner, Taylor Swift, in the Favorite Surprise Guest category, thanks to his iconic cameo at The Eras Tour. During the London leg of the tour in June 2024, Kelce made a grand appearance on stage beside Swift. The pop icon welcomed Kelce during the wardrobe change of her “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” performance.

The onstage interaction soon broke the internet and gave birth to one of the most talked about moments from the Eras Tour. Kelce had later revealed on the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason that the surprise cameo was his idea. “I initially mentioned to Tay, I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 [section]?’ She started laughing, she was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’ I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me?’” shared Travis.

Since Taylor Swift couldn’t be present, the event aired her acceptance speech through a pre-recorded video. With a brick wall as her background, Swift graciously accepted the Tour of the Century award, stating, “I really can’t tell you how much this means to me because I accept this on behalf of all my tourmates, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew.”
