Will Taylor Swift Be at the 2026 Emmy Awards on Monday Night?

Taylor Swift was nominated for a slew of Emmys this year, but don’t necessarily expect her to be at the official awards ceremony on Monday night (September 14).

Tay’s 2025 concert movie, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour—The Final Show, was nominated for five awards—including Best Variety Special (Prerecorded) and Best Directing for a Variety Special. Unfortunately she didn’t win, but either way: her categories were announced at the Creative Arts Emmys. And they were held on Saturday, September 5. In other words, Taylor’s attendance at the Primetime Emmy Awards next week seems pretty unlikely!

But on top of her categories being previously announced, there’s ALSO the fact that Travis Kelce will be playing his very first game of the NFL season on Monday night—the same night as the Emmy Awards. Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing against the Denver Broncos, and it just happens to be a home game for Trav, meaning Taylor is very likely to be there supporting him. (Note: Historically, Taylor only attends games at Arrowhead Stadium throughout the season. This is seemingly for security reasons—her team is very familiar with Arrowhead.)

If Taylor is at Travis’s game on Monday, this will mark one of their first public appearances as a couple (not counting pap pics) since getting married at Madison Square Garden back in July. No offense to the Emmys, but we WILL be tuning in.
