Travis Kelce wins Athlete of the Year at People’s Choice Awards after calling nomination ‘f–cking nonsense’
Travis Kelce won Athlete of the Year at the People’s Choice Awards Sunday after previously calling his nomination “f–king nonsense.”
The Kansas City Chiefs player didn’t attend the award show, which took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., as he’s been spending time in Missouri following his team’s Super Bowl LVIII win.
Kelce, 34, had been nominated in the category alongside Coco Gauff, Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Sabrina Ionescu, Simone Biles and Stephen Curry.
The tight end previously shaded his nomination during a January episode of his and his brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, telling the Philadelphia Eagles center that he didn’t belong in the category.
“What did I do to get Athlete of the Year? I did ‘SNL,’” he quipped at the time. “How am I on this [list]?”
He failed to mention during their conversation that his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, who won four awards Sunday night but missed the ceremony as she’s in Australia for her Eras Tour, may have contributed to his nomination.
He did, however, shade Biles’ husband while discussing the nominees with Jason, 36.
“How is Simone Biles on this but her boyfriend [sic] isn’t?” Jason asked of the Green Bay Packers safety, 28.
