Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just took their couple goals to award show levels.
The superstar duo are both nominated at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards, and honestly, it feels like a joint slay. PEOPLE exclusively confirmed the nominations, and fans are already buzzing. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at the Kids’ Choice Awards? That’s the kind of pop culture energy we love.
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end who’s been everywhere lately, is nominated for Favorite Male Sports Star. He’s in some serious athlete company, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Patrick Mahomes, Lionel Messi, Jalen Hurts and Shohei Ohtani are all in the mix. But let’s be real, Kelce’s got a solid fanbase backing him, especially after that Super Bowl win and his very public romance with Taylor.
As for Swift, she’s doing what she always does, snatching nominations left and right. The 35-year-old pop icon is up for Favorite Female Artist, going head-to-head with big names like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, SZA, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga. But that’s not all, she’s also nominated for Favorite Song for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” It’s safe to say the Eras Tour magic is still very much alive.
Other major noms in the music category include The Weeknd for “Cry For Me,” Billie Eilish for “Wildflower,” Kendrick Lamar with “squabble up,” Lady Gaga for “Abracadabra,” and Sabrina Carpenter’s catchy hit “Taste.” It’s a stacked lineup, but Swift always manages to stand out.
The 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards air live on June 21 at 8 p.m. from the iconic Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Tyla’s taking on hosting duties this year, and the show will air across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, Nick Jr., MTV2, and CMT. Basically, it’ll be impossible to miss.
Voting opens May 15 on the official Kids’ Choice Awards website, so Swifties and NFL fans, it’s time to rally. With 35 categories to vote on, there’s a lot to dive into, but we all know where the energy’s going.
This isn’t the first time Taylor and Travis have shared the spotlight at this event. Last year, they were both nominated and ended up scooping a total of four awards between them. Taylor alone walked away with three, Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Global Music Star, and Favorite Ticket of the Year for her massive Eras Tour. Safe to say she’s a fan favorite for a reason.
Post-tour, Taylor has been keeping a pretty low profile, enjoying downtime with friends and, of course, Kelce. Earlier this month, the couple were spotted spending Mother’s Day weekend in Philadelphia with Travis’ family. The public sightings have slowed down, but this Kids’ Choice nomination is a loud and clear reminder that they’re still very much a power couple.
Whether they take home more blimps this year or not, seeing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce nominated together again has fans hyped. It’s not every day you see one of the world’s biggest pop stars and one of the NFL’s biggest personalities sharing award season headlines, and making it look this effortless.
