Jason and Travis Kelce’s incredible year reached new heights on Monday when the popular NFL duo won Podcast of the Year at the iHeart Radio Awards.
The brothers have had a wild few months, with Travis winning the Super Bowl and Jason quitting football – while their podcast also shot to the top of the charts.
Now the Kelces have been rewarded with a trophy after their New Heights Show beat My Favorite Murder and SmartLess to win Podcast of the Year.
Neither brother attended the ceremony in Austin, Texas, but they did record a video message to the audience, in which Travis joked, “Get out of here…are people actually listening to this?”
Jason then thanked Taylor Swift’s fans for voting for them to win – amid his brother Travis’ high-profile relationship with the pop superstar.

At the start of their acceptance speech, Jason said, “Right now we’re talking to the entire iHeart Radio Awards audience,” before Travis added, “Oh s***, well we wish we could be there guys, but we are honored to accept this award.’
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end then added, “Podcast of the year is big s***,” before Jason continued, “It’s an incredible honor, especially for two jabronis like us.
“Receiving an award like this is beyond humbling, and we would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all 92 percent, aka Swifties, for voting for us.”

Earlier in the evening, the Kelce brothers had also won Best Overall Ensemble, but missed out on Best Sports Podcast from Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay.
Accepting his award on stage, Sharpe joked: “I wanted to win this award so badly. No seriously.’
Although the Kelces weren’t able to attend in person, Travis is back on American soil after spending time with his girlfriend Taylor Swift in both Australia and Singapore.
The pop sensation continues her sold-out Eras Tour, and Travis joined her for a handful of shows after the NFL season ended.
