Jason and Travis Kelce Shout Out Taylor Swift Fans After Winning Award
Jason and Travis Kelce know — and appreciate — their audience. The two brothers expressed their gratitude for Taylor Swift’s fans after their “New Heights” podcast won Podcast of the Year at the 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards.
In a video to accept the award, Jason joked about how he never expected “two jabronies” like himself and Travis to win. But he also acknowledged that they certainly couldn’t have done it without the Swiftie Nation. “To receive an award like this is beyond humbling, and we would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all the 92 percenters out there – AKA Swifties – who voted for us to win this award,” he said.
Travis echoed his older brother’s sentiments, calling their listeners “the best fanbase in the entire world.”
“You guys make this show what it is,” he continued. “We truly appreciate it. Thank you again to [the] iHeartPodcast Awards. To the 92 percenters, thank you guys as well.”
Travis and Jason sent in a video to accept the award, which took place at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, on Monday, after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was reportedly spotted in Los Angeles on Sunday night attending an Oscars after-party with Swift.
Travis and the singer made their relationship public in Septemeber 2023 when Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game (the two later revealed that they had already been privately dating for a month at that point). Following the initial outing, fans began regularly tuning in to Travis’ “New Heights” podcast to get updates on their relationship. While the NFL star usually keeps his mentions of Swift brief, has procided brief insights into their love story — like how he felt after Swift met his family and details on their recent trip to Australia, where he attended yet another Eras Tour concert.
Even after the Cheifs made the 2024 Super Bowl (which they went on to win), Travis and Jason took a moment on that week’s podcast episode to thank Swift for her support. “Also, shout out to the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom — Swift — who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year,” Jason joked. “Shout out to Tay,” Travis added, laughing. “Thanks for joining the team.”
