  • Swift won seven iHeartRadio Awards, including Artist and Album of the Year.
  • She gave a nod to Travis Kelce onstage; he responded sweetly.
  • Alysa Liu presented six awards at once to Swift.

Taylor Swift’s favorite number might be 13, but seven was her lucky number on Thursday night.

That’s the number of iHeartRadio Music Awards that Swift received at the show, which took place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

When she won for Best Pop Album of the year for “The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift gave a delightful nod to her beau, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. And his response was equally sweet.

Later in the program, gold medal figure skater Alysa Liu presented Swift with six awards at one time. They were for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Lyrics (for “The Fate of Ophelia”), Best Music Video (”Ophelia”), Pop Song of the Year (”Ophelia”) and Favorite Tour (Eras Tour).

In honor of her seven awards, here are seven pictures of Swift and Kelce from the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
