Taylor Swift once again proved her dominance in the music industry, sweeping multiple fan-voted categories at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. The event, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, saw the 14-time Grammy winner take home numerous awards, including some for her record-breaking Eras Tour and even one alongside her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce.
A Night of Victories for Swift
Swift, 35, was recognized for her impeccable style and innovative performances. Her Eras Tour wardrobe earned her the Favorite Tour Style award, while the tradition of surprise songs during each show won Favorite Tour Tradition. Additionally, her collaboration with Post Malone, “Fortnight,” secured Best Music Video, and Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) won Favorite On-Screen Performance.
One of the most surprising and talked-about moments of the evening was Swift’s win for Favorite Surprise Guest, which she shared with Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, made an unexpected appearance during Swift’s London Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium. He joined her on stage during the “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” costume change skit, leaving fans in awe. Swift later took to Instagram, posting, “I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut Never going to forget these shows.”
Tour of the Century Award and a Heartfelt Acceptance Speech
Although she was not in attendance, Swift accepted the prestigious Tour of the Century award through a heartfelt video message. She expressed her gratitude and reflected on the incredible journey of her Eras Tour, which had been two years in the making.
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,” she shared. She highlighted the tour’s challenges and how they ultimately became her greatest achievements. “It’s a three-and-a-half-hour show, more shows than I’ve ever done on a tour, and it really was the most gratifying thing I’ve ever done.”
Swift expressed immense appreciation for her fans, stating that their unwavering support allowed her to take on such an ambitious project. “You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” she said. It blows my mind. I’m never gonna stop being grateful for it.”
As a special treat, Swift debuted an acoustic clip of “mirrorball” from her first Eras Tour show as a surprise song, further delighting her dedicated fans.
A Tour That Defined an Era

Over its record-breaking run, she performed across five continents, delivering hundreds of unforgettable concerts in dozens of cities. Kelce frequently attended her shows, showcasing their strong bond.
The tour concluded in December 2024 in Vancouver, and to commemorate the momentous occasion, Kelce organized a surprise Eras Tour-themed celebration. The party featured friendship bracelets and “willow”-themed capes, paying tribute to Swift’s beloved song and aesthetic.
