Jason and Travis Kelce reserve special shoutout to Taylor Swift's fans after winning 'Podcast of the Year'
Jason and Travis Kelce can add another title to their long list of accolades: "Podcast of the Year" winners. The award is given out by iHeart Radio and voted on by fans. The Kelces made the announcement in a video posted to iHeart Radio's Instagram account.
Jason and Travis Kelce thanked the listeners of their "New Heights" podcast, which airs every Wednesday. Jason Kelce went on to thank all of the fans and then gave a shoutout to the "Swifties," whom he believed spent a significant amount of time voting for their podcast.
“This is an incredible honor, especially if you’re two jabronis like us. To receive an award like this is beyond humbling and we would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all the 92 percenters out there – AKA the Swifties – who voted for us to win this award.”
The Kelces also added that it's rewarding to know that their podcast resonates with their listeners and can bring some laughs to their day. The "New Heights" podcast also won the iHeart Radio award for Best Overall Ensemble but, lost the award for best sports podcast. The latter was awarded to Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast.
Jason and Travis Kelce began the "New Heights" podcast in September 2022. The brothers give their insight into NFL news as well as their individual games each week.
