Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are continuing to prove that they are couple goals!

The pop superstar, 36, made history on Thursday, June 11, by becoming the youngest-ever woman to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and her husband-to-be was there to support her every step of the way.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 36, left his team's minicamp early and traveled to New York City to support his fiancée and mark the historic occasion.

After Swift was announced by director Steven Spielberg, the entire room stood up to honor her and she immediately wrapped her arms around Kelce, before the pair shared a sweet kiss on the lips and embraced.

Kelce arrived just in time to cheer her on as she sat beside her mother, Andrea Swift, and Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, at the event, held at the New York Marriott Marquis in N.YC.

Swift spent her evening listening to John Fogerty, a cover of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" by Tamar Braxton and Sombr singing her hits "cardigan" and "Dear John."

Fogerty, 81, and his musician sons, Shane Fogerty and Tyler Fogerty, performed his 1969 hit "Fortunate Son" for the crowd, much to the delight of Swift and Kelce.

The couple was clearly enjoying the show as the "Shake It Off" hitmaker filmed herself sticking her tongue out and bobbing her head along to the beat in a video posted by Vanity Fair on Instagram.

Kelce was equally enthused as he mimicked the drums on the rock song and mouthed the lyrics, before Swift embraced him.

In another clip, posted by a Jason and Travis Kelce fan page on Instagram, the future bride was seen singing and grooving along to "Single Ladies" while sitting at her table with her mother and Kelce's mom.

During a 20-minute heartfelt speech, Swift got emotional as she thanked her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift and her brother, Austin Swift, 34, for allowing her to "hone her craft."

"People's feelings, passions, and motivations have always fascinated me," said the 14-time Grammy winner. "And it was easy to choose songwriting over everything else in my life, but it couldn't have been easy for my parents and my brother to just pick up and move our entire family from Pennsylvania to relocate to Nashville, so that I could hone my craft in the songwriting capital of the world."

"They uprooted their entire lives to move me to Music City, and even though words are supposed to kind of be my thing, I will never be able to express my gratitude to you guys for doing that for me."

For the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Swift submitted "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)," "Blank Space," "Anti-Hero," "Love Story" and "The Last Great American Dynasty" for consideration.

Kelce's minicamp program wrapped on Thursday, meaning he wasn't courtside with Swift when she watched the New York Knicks' epic comeback victory against the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden the previous night.

Wednesday evening's game saw Swift wear matching pun t-shirts with pals Alana Haim, Este Haim and Mariska Hargitay. She was even filmed hugging Kylie Jenner, with one fan describing it as "more shocking than the Knicks' win."

"Ah! That was so crazy," Jenner appeared to say to Swift after the pair embraced and exchanged words.

Swift and Kelce are rumored to be tying the knot next month following their engagement, which they announced in August 2025.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨," Swift wrote in the caption of the joint Instagram post at the time.
