Taylor Swift Appears in Pre-Recorded Sketch at 78th Emmys, Skips Ceremony for Chiefs Game
Taylor Swift did not attend the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in person on September 14, choosing instead to appear in a pre-recorded Law & Order: SVU sketch with Mariska Hargitay. The sketch humorously addressed speculation about her attendance, linking it to her husband Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs game that night, which she attended. Swift's concert special, The Eras Tour: The Final Show, had received five Creative Arts Emmy nominations but did not win any awards.
