Taylor Swift’s fans jokingly called out the pop star for saying she could not make the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards — while attending her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs game.
After Swift and Post Malone won the award for best video for their “Fortnight” collaboration, the network played a prerecorded acceptance speech in which the “Lover” singer said in part, “I am coming to you from the Eras Tour, and I’m so sad that I can’t be with you tonight.”
The footage aired Sunday night in the UK, where the ceremony was held, but it was still the afternoon in Kansas City, Mo., where Swift watched Kelce’s team defeat the Denver Broncos 16-14.
“‘I’m so sad I can’t be with you tonight’ THIS LIAR,” one Swiftie wrote on X alongside a photo of Swift arriving at Arrowhead Stadium with her mother, Andrea Swift, on a golf cart.
“calling in sick at work does not work when you’re TAYLOR SWIFT,” another quipped.
“‘Coming from the Eras Tour’? More like coming from in my Chiefs era tour,” a third fan wrote.
“no I get her and she deserves the rest during her break but lying on international tv even tho people will know where she is is [sic] hilarious,” another X user shared.
“pls this is so funny,” one more wrote.
Taylor, 34, was the most nominated and awarded artist at this year’s EMAs, winning four of the seven categories in which she was recognized.
The Grammy winner is in the midst of a nearly two-week break from her blockbuster tour, which will resume Thursday in Toronto before concluding Dec. 8 in Vancouver, Canada.

She and Andrea, 66, spent Sunday in Kansas City to support the Chiefs, which remain undefeated this season.
Taylor turned heads in a red-and-black checkered Versace jacket ($3,350), a matching miniskirt ($1,695), a black Victoria’s Secret corset ($100 $40), knee-high Versace boots ($1,990) and a coordinating bag ($2,175).
During the game, the “All Too Well” singer was seen cheering for Kelce, 35, after the tight end tied Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez’s record for the most touchdown receptions in franchise history.
Taylor and Kelce started dating in the summer of 2023.
“She feels safer with him than anyone she’s ever known,” a source told Page Six last month. “She knows he would do anything for her, and physically she feels protected by him, and she loves that feeling. It’s a relatively new one for her, relationship-wise.”
