Jason and Travis Kelce Thank Taylor Swift Fans for Voting ‘New Heights’ Podcast of the Year
“We would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all of the 92%ers out there — aka Swifties,” the retired Philadelphia Eagles center joked.

Jason and Travis Kelce just won iHeartRadio’s 2024 podcast of the year award, but they’re not letting it go to their heads. While accepting the honors via video Monday (March 11), the two brothers made sure to shout out an enormous group of people who undoubtedly swayed the vote in their favor: Taylor Swift fans.
“Podcast of the year,” marveled the Kansas City Chiefs player, who hosts New Heights with his older bro, in a clip posted on X. “It’s big s–t.”
“Listen, this is an incredible honor, especially for two jabronis like us,” added Jason, who recently retired from the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line. “To receive an award like this is beyond humbling, and we would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all of the 92%ers out there — aka Swifties — who voted for us to win this award.”
In response, Travis laughed and nodded appreciatively. “Thank you, guys, for everything,” he added. “We truly do have the best fanbase in the entire world.”
Indeed, Swifties have rallied around the Kelces’ podcast in the months since Travis and Swift began dating last summer. In fact, New Heights has served as a core part of the two stars’ love story, with the Chiefs player first professing his crush on the “Anti-Hero” singer on the show back in July.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice,” he said at the time, revealing he’d hoped to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her Eras Tour concerts.
Flash forward to March 2024, and Travis is jet-setting around the world to support the 14-time Grammy winner on her trek. Most recently, the pair linked up in Singapore, where the superstar played six shows.
Before that, Swift was a mainstay at the athlete’s games, up through the Super Bowl in February. Following the Chiefs’ victory against the San Francisco 49ers, the pop star was one of the first people to hug Travis on the field.
