True love is thanking your boyfriend during an acceptance speech after winning an iHeartRadio Music Award.

If you're Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, that is.

The "1989" singer took home the trophy for "Best Tour" Sunday night, among others -- and after thanking the award's presenter, Justin Timberlake, her fans and the artists who joined her on her epic world tour, she turned her attention to her boyfriend of one year, Adam (a.k.a. Harris; the DJ's real name is Adam Wiles). 

Swift sweetly acknowledged that Adam-Calvin has always been there for her when the "spotlight went out." 

We should acknowledge that Harris was never a guest performer on Swift's tour, which means he wasn't there for her when the spotlight was on.

Let's hope this one's gonna be forever, and not go down in flames.
