Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce at iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026

All that time Taylor Swift sat alone in her tower, she was just honing her powers. 

Case in point: The “Fate of Ophelia” singer stepped out at the iHeartRadio Music Awards March 26, marking her first major public appearance of 2026—and the first time she’s brought Travis Kelce to an entertainment award show for a date night.

Taylor hit the red carpet in a mint green velvet two-piece from Wiederhoeft’s fall winter 2026 collection, featuring a corset top bedazzled with golden glass beads. The 36-year-old—whose fiancé skipped the carpet but was spotted by her side in the audience—topped off the look with strappy heels, opting for minimal glam with a soft nude lip and halfback hairstyle.

Of course, it’s no surprise Taylor chose this occasion to make her return to the public eye as she is up for a whopping nine awards at the ceremony, including  Song of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Favorite TikTok Dance, Best Lyrics and Best Music Video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” as well as Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year. 

Trust, the Eras Tour is the gift that keeps on giving for Taylor, as she is also up for Favorite On Screen for her Disney+ End of An Era documentary, not to mention Favorite Tour Style for her on stage looks at the record-breaking concert series.
