At the 2024 Webby Awards, Taylor Swift won a trophy and also outperformed her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
The winners of the Webby Awards were revealed on Tuesday, April 23. Swift, who is 34 years old, won in the Best Creator or Influencer Collaboration, Features (Social) category for her partnership with Vote.org on National Voter Registration Day. In September 2023, Swift worked with the website to help register fans to vote before Election Day.
Travis beat out Kelce for an award, who was nominated for his collaboration with The Cheesecake Factory. Kelce, a 34-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, made headlines for wearing an outfit that resembled the restaurant's takeout bags to an NFL game in January. Other nominees included Amaury Guichon's Whimsical Wonka Suitcase, M·A·C COSMETICS x TUBEGIRL, and The Ad You Stay In.
Even though Travis didn't win that award, he and his brother Jason Kelce won a separate Webby for Best Co-Hosts, Features (Podcasts). The Kelce brothers are well-known for hosting the "New Heights" podcast. They competed against other popular podcasts such as "Bitch Sesh," "Jill Scott Presents: J.ill the Podcast," "Questlove Supreme," and "We Can Do Hard Things."
The Webby winners have been announced, and there will be an in-person ceremony hosted by Amber Ruffin on Monday, May 13 in New York City.
Fans are curious if Swift and Travis will attend the show since they both won. However, it's unlikely as the couple has never walked a red carpet together. Swift will also be on her Eras Tour in Europe, performing in Paris from Thursday, May 9 to Sunday, May 12. It's uncertain if Travis will join her on the road.
In September 2023, Swift and Travis made their relationship public, following the NFL star talking about her tour on the “New Heights” podcast a few months earlier.
During her TIME magazine cover story in December 2023, Swift mentioned how Travis had sweetly mentioned her on his podcast, which she found really cool. She also revealed that they began spending time together shortly after that.
She mentioned that they spent a lot of time together without anyone knowing.
"We had the chance to really bond," she continued. "When I attended our first game together, we were already a couple. Some people may have thought that was our first date at the game? We wouldn't be crazy enough to make our first date so public."
Editor's P/S:
The Webby Awards celebrated excellence in digital media, and Taylor Swift emerged as a winner, showcasing her influence beyond music. Her collaboration with Vote.org highlighted her commitment to civic engagement, while Travis Kelce's nomination for his unique partnership with The Cheesecake Factory reflected his ability to connect with audiences in unconventional ways. The awards recognized the growing intersection between entertainment and activism, as well as the power of social media to amplify important messages.
Despite their individual triumphs, the article leaves us wondering about the possibility of Swift and Kelce attending the awards ceremony together. Their relationship has been kept relatively private, and they have avoided public appearances as a couple. Their schedules may also conflict, with Swift's ongoing Eras Tour and Kelce's potential NFL commitments. However, their shared success at the Webby Awards could provide an opportunity for them to make a joint appearance, further solidifying their status as a power couple in both the entertainment and sports worlds.
