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 dynamic Kansas City Chiefs duo competing for Favorite Male Sports Star.
The reigning Super Bowl champions have been 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 in July.
The 14-time Grammy winner is the frontrunner 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.

Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift is also nominated for several categories in the award show
The pop star is competing against Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez.
Swift has previously won seven Kids Choice Awards among her many accolades.
Like Swift, Mahomes is no stranger to the awards show, having been nominated for the same category each of the past four years. While he’s still waiting to win his first bubble, Mahomes will face tougher competition this year in the form of his tight end.
Mahomes earned his third Super Bowl MVP after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in February. Kansas City has won two straight titles and three of the last five.
Although he didn’t score a touchdown in Las Vegas to help win the title, Kelce was crucial in the Chiefs’ postseason run. The Cincinnati product scored two touchdowns against Buffalo in the divisional playoffs and another against Baltimore in the AFC title game.
