Jason Kelce is confident that his brother, Travis Kelce, might be the next recipient of an accolade at the upcoming Kids’ Choice Awards.
In light of Travis Kelce’s nomination for Favorite Male Sports Star at the 2024 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, the recently retired Eagles center Jason Kelce articulated that if children are the ones casting votes, Travis would be the clear winner due to his relationship with music icon Taylor Swift.
On an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Jason Kelce told his brother, “I mean, dude, if it’s kids [voting] you’re winning this by a f–king landslide.”
Travis Kelce, who faces competition from the likes of Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo for the award, expressed curiosity about winning the vote, to which Jason responded with a humorous observation about his newfound fan demographic consisting of young female admirers.
Jason continued, “Now, I go out in public, routinely, 14-year-old little girls… are like, ‘Oh my God, you’re the brother of Travis, dating Taylor Swift,’ so I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that you’re not winning this award if it’s truly chosen by children. Might as well give you the award right now.”
Travis showed gratitude for the support and stated his intention to continue positively influencing children.
The multi-talented Travis Kelce, besides being a successful athlete aged 34 and Swift’s partner, is acknowledged with six Kids’ Choice nominations, including Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Global Music Star.
Travis accompanied Swift on her Eras Tour and has added acting and hosting a game show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” for Amazon Prime to his résumé.
Despite a busy offseason, Travis returned to the Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp, with plans to help secure a Super Bowl three-peat.
The Chiefs scored a victory at Super Bowl 2024, with Swift in attendance, while in the previous year, they defeated Jason’s team, the Eagles.
Jason, at 36, decided to retire in March following 13 seasons with the Eagles and is set to join ESPN as a “Monday Night Football” NFL analyst.
Nickelodeon’s 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards is slated to broadcast on Saturday, July 13, at 8 p.m.
