Pop star Taylor Swift won seven moon men on Wednesday night at the MTV Video Music Awards, entering a tie with Beyoncé as the most decorated artist in VMA history with 30.
Swift took home the title of Video of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Editing, Best Directing and Song of the Summer for “Fortnight” from The Tortured Poets Department, as well as Best Artist and Best Pop.
Although Swift’s boyfriend — Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — wasn’t able to make the event because of football requirements, her beau of a year was there in spirit.

In accepting the final award of the night for “Fortnight” as Video of the Year, Swift described how one person would always be cheering for them when they finished a shot or scene from the video. “That one person was my boyfriend, Travis,” the 14-time Grammy winner said to raucous applause from the crowd. “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him.”

Although we’ve heard Swift refer to Kelce as her boyfriend after changing the lyric to “Karma” to “karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me” at Eras Tour shows he attended, this is the first time she’s done it publicly.
