Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the most buzzed-about duo in entertainment, have both received nominations for the upcoming 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards, showcasing their personal successes in music and sports.
Swift, 35, receives a nomination for Favorite Female Artist, going up against major figures in the industry like Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and SZA. Furthermore, her popular song ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart’ is nominated for Favorite Song, competing against songs such as ‘Taste’ by Sabrina Carpenter and ‘Wildflower’ by Billie Eilish.
Kelce, who is also 35, the standout tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is up for Favorite Male Sports Star. His rivals feature prominent sports figures such as LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Patrick Mahomes, Stephen Curry, Jalen Hurts, Shohei Ohtani, and Jayson Tatum.
Even with the Chiefs’ regular season struggles, Kelce demonstrated his lasting skill in the playoffs. In the Divisional Round versus the Houston Texans, he showcased an impressive performance with seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown, playing a crucial role in the Chiefs’ 23-14 win.
Nevertheless, the team’s drive waned in Super Bowl LIX, as they experienced a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelce registered four receptions for 39 yards during the match, a performance that did not meet expectations, yet his worldwide popularity with Swift is acknowledged.
Honoring Achievement in Entertainment and Sports
