Taylor Swift smiled after a photographer called her “Mrs. Kelce” on the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet, her first as a married woman. Whether she has legally changed her surname to Kelce remains unclear.
Swift received the ceremony’s inaugural Artist Director Honors. In July, a source told the Daily Mail she looked forward to being Taylor Kelce and viewed the name as a “meaningful step,” partly because their future children would share it.
Travis Kelce missed the VMAs because the Kansas City Chiefs were playing an away game against the Miami Dolphins. Kansas City won 24–10, its third straight victory.
