Watch Viral Video of Taylor and Travis Kelce Running as They Arrive Late to the 2025 BET Awards: “These Two Are So Natural and Hilarious!”

In a moment that’s quickly taken over social media, Taylor Swift and her NFL superstar boyfriend Travis Kelce were caught on camera literally sprinting toward the entrance of the 2025 BET Awards, and fans can’t stop laughing — or asking questions.
The clip, which exploded across Instagram Threads and TikTok just minutes after it surfaced, shows the power couple dashing in full glam, laughing, breathless, and clearly in a race against the clock.
But why were they running?
That’s the million-dollar question fueling endless fan theories, memes, and hot takes online. Some say their car got stuck in L.A. traffic. Others claim they arrived fashionably late on purpose to avoid the red carpet frenzy. But whatever the reason, they turned a late arrival into an unforgettable viral moment.

👟 The Run Heard Around the Internet
In the now-viral video, Taylor — in a sleek, shimmering black gown with a thigh-high slit — is seen grabbing her heels and jogging barefoot across the pavement, while Travis, in a sharp midnight-blue suit, paces beside her, holding her clutch like a true MVP.
Onlookers cheered and screamed as they dashed past security, giggling like high schoolers trying to sneak into prom late. One fan is even heard yelling, “That’s Taylor Swift RUNNING! This is not a drill!”
And just like that, the internet was hooked.

🗣️ Social Media Reacts: “They’re Just Like Us!”
Within minutes, #TaylorAndTravis was trending on X (formerly Twitter), with fans praising the couple for being “so real” and “chaotic in the best way.”
“These two are so hilarious,” one fan commented.
“Imagine being so rich and famous… and still running late like the rest of us,” wrote another.
“Travis holding her clutch while she runs? Husband behavior.”
Some fans even dubbed the moment “the most romantic scene of the year,” while others joked that they’d start running everywhere now — “Swift style.”

💃 Were They Late… or Just Making an Entrance?
While neither Taylor nor Travis has officially commented on the mad dash, a source close to the couple told entertainment outlet PopFizz that they misread the start time and were “genuinely panicked” about missing Taylor’s surprise appearance during a live tribute performance.
And yes — you read that right. Despite not being officially listed as a performer or presenter, Taylor made a quick onstage cameo to introduce a rising artist signed under her indie label — making their entrance even more dramatic in hindsight.

🧠 Fans Decode the Symbolism
As usual, Swifties are digging deeper. Some believe the moment was staged — a “symbolic run” toward embracing culture, showing support at a predominantly Black awards show, or even a meta-commentary on fame itself. (Yes, Swifties go that deep.)
Others are just here for the vibes: two lovebirds, a red carpet, and an unforgettable dash that somehow turned into a pop culture moment.
