Travis and Jason Kelce win bizarre podcast award – and fans claim they have Taylor Swift to thank

While Travis and Jason Kelce have both adorned their trophy cases as football players, the brothers won their latest award as a tandem.

On Tuesday, PEOPLE announced the winners for the first five categories of its annual Sexiest Man Alive picks poll.

Among the five categories released was “Sexiest Podcast Host,” which the Kelces won jointly this year. However, social media users were convinced that the New Heights podcast hosts only won the award because of Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift.

“They only got that name because of Taylor’s fame… and both of them… nvm,” one user wrote.

“He’s only known for TAYLOR’S SWIFT BOYFRIEND btw,” a second added.

“Tayble Swift paid for this,” a third joked, while a fourth added: “It was only the Swifties who voted.”

Other users argued how the title was handed to the brothers, suggesting that neither Travis nor Jason fit the adjective associated with the award.

“Let’s stop lying, they’re both ugly,” someone suggested.

Another wrote: ‘In what world?? certainly not this one, I know it’s for sho.’

Meanwhile, a third said the brothers “look like they could be my toilet brush.”

The sexiest podcast host award in 2023 was awarded to Taylor Lautner. But as Travis and Taylor’s romance made headlines this past year, New Heights’ popularity began to skyrocket in recent months.

Other winners in the recent announcement include Harry Styles as the Sexiest Musician, Robert Pattinson as the Sexiest New Dad, Hunter Woodhall as the Sexiest Support Partner in Sports, and Mark Esres as the Sexiest TikTok Star.
