Taylor Swift has made her first awards show appearance of the year, and with a surprise guest by her side. 

The "Opalite" singer stepped out for the 13th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday. 

Swift posed for photos on the red carpet just before the show.

Once inside, the Grammy winner was joined by her fiance, Travis Kelce.

The awards show appearance marked a first for the Kansas City Chiefs star and Swift, who announced their engagement last August.

Swift gave Kelce a shout out when she accepted her first award, which was for pop album of the year for "The Life of A Showgirl."

"I think that this album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiance, who’s here tonight," Swift said. "So thanks for all the vibes."

The awards represent some of the first major recognitions for Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl," released in October 2025. 

"'The Life of a Showgirl' was really inspired by the energy I felt looking into crowds and seeing you guys and connecting with you every single night," Swift said in her acceptance speech for pop album of the year. "And so the album came out with this energy of just feeling really happy and strong and confident and free. And so I want to say thank you to the fans for giving me that feeling."

"The Fate of Ophelia" is one of three singles that Swift released from the album. They also include "Elizabeth Taylor" and "Opalite."
