The moment that earned them the epic nomination came when Kelce, also 35, dressed in a tuxedo with top hat, joined Swift on stage after her performance of “Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” for the introduction to “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” In the skit, Kelce helped “revive” the “Fortnight” songstress after she “died” on stage, humorously carrying her across the catwalk before pretending to apply blush to her cheeks. It was an unexpected moment that many fans did not see coming.
And in typical Swiftie fashion, the 14-time Grammy winners’ fans were quick to comment on the nomination, taking to social media to express their thoughts.”Travis all day !!👏👏👏,” one fan commented on an Instagram post made by iHeartRadio.”If Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift walk the red carpet at the iHeartRadio awards and win for a well best surprise guest it’s gonna break the Internet.,” said another fan on X (formerly Twitter.)One commented on the lack of seriousness of the honor, noting, “there is a reason this award isn’t taken seriously and no one cares.”Another person remarked on Kelce’s second favorite surprise guest nomination.
