Taylor Swift smiles after photographer calls her "Mrs. Kelce" on VMA red carpet
Taylor Swift received the Video of the Year award at the VMAs and was seen smiling when a photographer shouted her married name, "Mrs. Kelce," during the pre-show.
Taylor Swift won the Video of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday for her song "The Fate of Ophelia," which includes references to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, whom she married earlier this summer. While posing on the red carpet, a photographer called out "Mrs. Kelce, right here please!" and Swift responded with a brief smile that was captured on video.
Travis Kelce, whose team had just defeated the Miami Dolphins, later liked social-media posts showing his wife’s reaction. A source quoted by a British tabloid said Swift plans to use the Kelce surname in her personal life while continuing to perform under her own name. The same source indicated she does not intend to hyphenate her name.
"In her personal life, the idea of being Taylor Kelce is something she genuinely looks forward to," the source said.
The couple’s wedding, reportedly costing $20 million, is scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden with a rehearsal dinner and a large reception in the days surrounding the ceremony.
