While Travis and Jason Kelce both have decorated their respective trophy cases as football players, the brothers have won their latest accolade as a tandem.
On Tuesday, PEOPLE announced the winners for the first five categories of their annual Sexiest Man Alive choice poll.
Among the five categories released was ‘Sexiest Podcast Host’ which the Kelces won collectively this year. However, social media users were convinced that the New Heights podcast hosts only won the award due to Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift.
‘They only got that name cuz of Taylor’s fame.. and they both .. nvm,’ one user wrote.
‘He’s known only for TAYLOR’S SWIFT BOYFRIEND btw,’ a second added.

‘Tayble swift paid for this,’ a third quipped while a fourth added ‘It was only swifties that voted.’
Other users argued how the title was handed to the brothers, suggesting neither Travis nor Jason fit the adjective attached to the award.
‘Let’s stop lying they both ugly,’ one suggested.
Another wrote: ‘In what world?? definitely not this one i kno that’s fo sho.’
Meanwhile, a third said the brothers ‘look like they could be my toilet brush.’
Users insisted that the Kelces won the bizarre honor thanks to Swift’s colossal fanbase
The Sexiest Podcast Host award was awarded to Taylor Lautner in 2023. However, with Travis and Taylor’s romance snatching headlines over the past year, New Heights’ popularity began soaring in recent months.
Other winners in the recent announcement include Harry Styles as the sexiest musician, Robert Pattinson as the sexiest first-time dad, Hunter Woodhall as the sexiest supportive partner in sports, and Mark Esres as the sexiest TikTok star.
