Taylor Swift Thanks Her BF In A Cute iHeart Moment
Taylor Swift typically lets her music do the talking when it comes to her relationships, but since she's been dating Calvin Harris, she just cannot stop gushing about their romance. Case in point? The fact that Taylor Swift thanked Calvin Harris at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in a sweet shoutout during her Best Tour award acceptance speech. In doing so, she was sincere and giggly and slightly awkward — all Taylor Swift hallmarks, yes, but also the sign of someone who is clearly in love. I'm talking heart-eye emoji status. The romance was straight-up palpable.
After thanking the fans and every single A-lister who surprised a different 1989 Tour crowd each night, T. Swift got personal in the acceptance speech, revealing exactly who it was she was so happy to come home to when the tour was all said and done. "For the first time, I had the most amazing person to come to when the spotlight went out and the crowds were all gone," she said, eliciting a roar of excitement from the crowd. "I want to thank my boyfriend Adam for that."
"Adam," of course, would be Calvin Harris, whose real name is Adam Wiles. And it looked like he was pretty darn happy to be mentioned in such a loving way by his girlfriend, smiling as she mentioned his name.
Swift — who notably calls all of her famous pals by their real names (see: Lorde) — previously revealed that she calls Harris by his real name in a series of Instagram photos she posted from their recent beach-y getaway. In a photo of their initials written in the sand (seriously, I cannot), she wrote "TS + AW," captioning the photo "Taylor Swift + Adam Wiles."
Long live #Tayvin — and long live sweet shoutouts from Swift in her acceptance speeches.
