Travis Kelce Is Now The Sexiest Athlete. Fans Say It Is Swiftie Effect
The Sexiest Athlete Award from People Magazine was most recently added to Travis Kelce’s list of accomplishments.
Nonetheless, some admirers contest the award’s validity, speculating that it might have been impacted by his relationship with singer Taylor Swift.
Dov Kleiman, a writer for BroBible NFL, said that Kelce had won the title of Sexiest Athlete after competing against Joe Burrow, Shohei Ohtani, Lewis Hamilton, and other athletes.

It is unclear what the selection criteria were, which has raised the possibility that votes in favor of Kelce may have been swayed by his relationship with Swift.
After hearing the news, someone on social media remarked, “Who did Taylor Swift bribe for this one?”
