The Weeknd<\/strong>.<\/p>\nBut don\u2019t count Taylor out of history-making. The singer is currently tied with Beyonc\u00e9 for the most VMAs ever awarded, with 30 wins each. If she takes home another Moon Person this year, she will officially become the most decorated artist in the awards\u2019 1984-to-present history \u2014 even if she watches from afar.<\/p>\n
Her absence comes during a particularly busy week for her family life. Travis Kelce<\/strong>, to whom Taylor got engaged last month, is set to kick off the NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs tonight, September 5, in a game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.<\/p>\nThis year marks the first time Taylor will miss the VMAs since 2021, a ceremony that has long been full of historic moments for the singer. Last year, she publicly acknowledged Travis as her boyfriend while accepting her award for Video of the Year for \u201cFortnight\u201d with Post Malone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\u201cThis video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was actually the most fun video to make,\u201d Taylor said during her acceptance speech, recalling the behind-the-scenes energy. Between takes, she added, she could \u201calways just hear someone cheering, like, \u2018Whoo!\u2019 from across the studio.\u201d To roaring applause, Taylor confirmed, \u201cThat one person was my boyfriend, Travis.\u201d<\/p>\n
And it wasn\u2019t the first time she made the VMAs a launchpad for major moments. In 2022, she began her tradition of grand album announcements while accepting the same award for \u201cAll Too Well: The Short Film.\u201d As she told fans at the time, \u201cI had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous, and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
