Today (December 13) is Taylor Swift’s 35th birthday, and there is a ton to celebrate. Not only did the singer make history after wrapping the Eras Tour, but she also achieved a major career accomplishment at the Billboard Music Awards. In honor of her successful year, fans are flooding social media with birthday tributes. Even the NFL shared a special post before her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, had a chance to do the same. 

Today, the National Football League posted a video montage on its official TikTok account. The clip featured a compilation of footage from Swift’s many NFL appearances, and it was set to an upbeat cover of John Legend’s “All of Me.”

The caption read, “Karma is the guy on the @Chiefs saying happy bday to me [music note emoji].”

The night before her birthday, Swift made history as the most decorated Billboard Music Awards artist of all time. The singer won ten—I repeat, ten—trophies at last night’s ceremony, including Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top 100 Artist and Top Hot 100 Songwriter. The new additions brought her total count to 49, and as a result, she surpassed Drake (42) as the artist with the most BMA wins.

Although Swift wasn’t able to attend the awards show, she still filmed a special video message where she thanked fans for their ongoing support.

“Thank you to the Billboard Awards [and] thank you to the fans because Billboard is counting your stuff,” she said in the clip. “They’re counting what you listen to, the albums you're passionate about—so I count these as fan-voted awards because you guys are the ones that care about our albums and come see us in concert.”

2025 has big shoes to fill.
