Travis Kelce and his Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, are both in the running for Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards nominations, setting up a friendly competition between the two. Adding to the star-studded affair, Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, also earns a nod of her own.
Travis Kelce will compete against his running mate Patrick Mahomes for a Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award.
On Wednesday, the nominees for each category for the July 13 awards ceremony were announced, with the Kansas City Chiefs dynamic duo in contention for Favorite Male Sports Star.
The reigning Super Bowl Champions are nominated alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and Steph Curry.
Meanwhile, Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is also in the running for a few trophies come July.
The 14-time Grammy winner is a front-runner for Favorite Ticket of the Year with The Eras Tour, Favorite Global Music Star, Favorite Album with The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, Favorite Collaboration with Karma (with Ice Spice), and Favorite Female Artist.
The pop star competes against Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and Selena Gomez.
Swift has previously won seven Kids Choice Awards with her many accolades.
Like Swift, Mahomes is no stranger to the award show, getting nominated for the same category in each of the last four years. While still waiting to win his first blimp, Mahomes is facing tougher competition this year in the form of his tight end.
Mahomes racked up his third Super Bowl MVP after the Chiefs routed the San Francisco 49ers in February. Kansas City won two straight titles and three of the last five.
