Kelce Plays in Miami as Swift Receives VMA Honor

Travis Kelce played in the Kansas City Chiefs’ 24-10 win over the Miami Dolphins in Miami on Sunday while Taylor Swift attended the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. After the game, fans observed Kelce liking Instagram posts showing Swift’s arrival at the ceremony, a social-media gesture that drew attention as the couple spent the evening in different cities. The Chiefs’ game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens ended with Kansas City improving its record to 3-0, according to one report. Kelce caught a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter. Swift walked the VMAs carpet at the Peacock Theater, where she received the inaugural Artist Director Honors, an award recognizing artists’ work behind the camera in music videos and visual storytelling. Reports differ on the number of posts Kelce liked. One described two posts from Billboard, another said three posts, including posts from Billboard and Good Morning America, and a third referred to several posts. The accounts are based on fan observations, and no direct platform record or confirmation establishes the total or exact timing.
