Travis Kelce’s Reaction To People Choice Awards Nomination Going Viral

With the Kansas City Chiefs, tight end Travis Kelce has been a member of many championship teams. Now, the tight end is up for what may be his first mainstream honor.

Travis Kelce’s Reaction To People Choice Awards Nomination Going Viral

Kelce laughed off his nomination for the People’s Choice Award as the year’s top athlete on the “New Heights Podcast” in response to the news:

At the 2024 event, 45 prizes will be presented. While Kelce’s significant other Taylor Swift was nominated in five categories, Kelce was also nominated for Athlete of the Year. These categories include Pop Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Movie of the Year, and Concert Tour of the Year.

On Wednesday’s edition of the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his elder brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, the Chiefs tight end used the words “F–king nonsense.”

“What did I do to get Athlete of the Year? I did ‘SNL’ (Saturday Night Live).”

The NBA greats LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Steph Curry, U.S. Open champion Coco Gauff, soccer sensation Lionel Messi, two-time WNBA All-Star Sabrina Ionescu, and renowned Olympic gymnast Simone Biles are among the impressive group of nominees in this category that Kelce, 34, joins.

The tight end’s least productive season since 2015 precedes Travis’s People’s Choice candidacy. The tight end failed to achieve 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since that year, which was this year.

Following 110 catches for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022, he caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five scores in 2023.

Taylor Swift and Travis have the ability to win six prizes at the ceremony between them. But Kelce is probably more focused on winning the Lombardi Trophy. The Miami Dolphins were easily defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card Round, ensuring their spot in the postseason.

Does Travis Kelce have a record?

Travis, a tight end with the Chiefs, currently owns the NFL record for the most seasons in which a tight end has 1,000 or more receiving yards; hence, it was significant when his run ended on Sunday. From 2016 to 22, he achieved that mark every year; but, this season, he was only 16 yards short of a thousand yards.

Why Travis Kelce is 87?

Prior to the 2023 Super Bowl, he gave an explanation of why he chose his jersey number: it was a deliberate tribute to his brother, Jason, an offensive tackle with the Philadelphia Eagles.

What is Travis Kelce net worth?

Forbes reported in October that Travis’s estimated net worth is $40 million. According to reports, he will make $12.3 million this season while playing in the NFL, bringing his total earnings over the course of his 11-year career to over $77 million.
