Taylor Swift failed to mention her boyfriend Travis Kelce in her Grammys acceptance speech on Sunday evening.
The woman of the hour at the ceremony, which was held at the Crypto.com Arena
, took to the stage to collect her fourth Album Of The Year gong –
during which the NFL player was notably absent from her list of gratitude.
Taylor, 34, thanked her friends and many collaborators during her acceptance speech but one notable name which was missing was boyfriend Travis who will be playing in the Super Bowl next week – much to Taylor’s fans’ delight.
She said: ‘I want to say. I get to work with one of my best friends who is not only one of my best friends, but also a once in a generation producer that’s Jack Antonoff. I’m so lucky. And my engineer, I want to say thank you to Sam Dew, sound wave.’
Taylor had pal Lana Del Rey join her on stage as she was also nominated in the top category and is also a collaborator with Jack Antonoff and made sure to praise the artist during her speech.

Fans swarmed Twitter to comment on the absence of the sportsman – with some insisting the move was ‘weird’
The A-lister continued: ‘ Lana Del Rey who is hiding, but I think so many female artists would not be where they are or have the inspiration without the work she has done. She is a legacy artist, a legend in her prime right now. I’m so lucky to know you went to be your friend.’
The star concluded her triumphant speech by expressing her love of music from the recording studio, to performing concerts around the world, and even earning major awards.

A log to process from last night’s Grammys, including, but not limited to, Taylor Swift casually announcing a brand new album while accepting her first award of the evening. In other words, it was a huge night for Tay—and while Travis Kelce couldn’t make it to the awards show, he subtly hyped up her red carpet look via a Like on *checks notes* NPR’s Instagram account.

ICYMI, Travis explained why he couldn’t attend the Grammys during ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, saying “I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award that she’s nominated for, but I think I got practice on Sunday. Is it Saturday or Sunday? I know I got practice Saturday, but Sunday’s a travel day. Unfortunately I gotta get ready for this big ol’ Super Bowl that we got in a week.”

I mean, understandable!
Anyway, quick recap of Tay’s album announcement while we’re here (in case you missed the Grammys and are somehow just waking up to this news): It’s called The Tortured Poets Department and drops on April 19.
