Taylor Swift is having quite the week. Not content merely to release The Life of a Showgirl: Encore to her famously fervent fanbase, T. Swift has also teased a new music video for one of the album’s four new tracks, “Patient Zero.”
She is set to unveil the video at today’s 2026 VMAs, where she will also receive the ceremony’s inaugural Artist Director Honour. However her hubby, Travis Kelce is nowhere to be seen on her night of night’s.
So where, exactly, is Swift’s leading man? The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was sadly tied up, taking to the field as the Chiefs faced the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Kickoff came at 1PM (or 3AM AEST), just prior to the VMA’s red carpet rolling out. However, not for nothing, as the Chiefs emerged victorious

Taylor recently skipped the 2026 Emmys, where she received five nominations for her concert film Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show, in favour of being at Arrowhead Stadium to watch her beau take the field for the Chiefs’ season opener.
Since 2023, she has become a fixture at Kelce’s games, often arriving with a coterie of famous friends in tow.
Following the frenzy surrounding their July nuptials, the couple have maintained a relatively low-key public profile. Their Madison Square Garden wedding caused quite the furore, befitting what was an era-defining, almost royal-level celebration.
Paparazzi and fans were holed up outside MSG, snapping photographs of the famous faces arriving to watch them wed, which included bestie Selena Gomez alongside Gigi Hadid, Emma Stone and Sabrina Carpenter.
