Travis and Jason Kelce are enjoying some well deserved time-off after a grueling NFL season, but they will return to podcasting duties sooner than you might expect.
Jason Kelce’s Philadelphia Eagles made it to a wild card play-off only to lose the game, while younger brother Travis won his second Super Bowl in a row and his third with the Chiefs.
Not only did they play an intense season of football, but their family was thrown into the global spotlight thanks to Travis’ new relationship with Taylor Swift.
But even before he went public with Swift in September, Travis co-hosted a popular podcast with Jason called New Heights.
The weekly show sees the brothers come together to chat about life, the game they love and big moments from their respective weeks.

It’s all thanks to the Eras Tour that Taylor met her now-boyfriend, Travis Kelce (seen together in October)
Since the pair started dating, the Eras Tour has also played host to some adorable and romantic moments between Taylor and Travis, like when she ran off stage to kiss him in Sydney
It’s all thanks to the Eras Tour that Taylor met her now-boyfriend, Travis.
Their relationship began back in September, after he revealed on his brother’s podcast that he had attended her show back in July and had tried – and failed – to slip her his number.
He said he had the digits written on a friendship bracelet that he was going to give her, and shared his disappointment over not having the chance.
The athlete later revealed that after he made his admission publicly, a mutual friend helped them get in contact.
Since the pair started dating, the Eras Tour has also played host to some adorable and romantic moments between Taylor and Travis.
Last week, following her show in Sydney, Australia, the Cruel Summer songstress ran off stage and leapt into her boyfriend’s arms as thousands of her fans watched on.
The two even shared in a passionate smooch before they walked off with her hand lovingly placed on his back.
Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights scoops Podcast of the Year at the iHeart Radio Awards… before NFL duo joke ‘people actually listen to this?’ and thank ‘Swifties’ for voting
Jason and Travis Kelce‘s incredible year reached New Heights on Monday when the popular NFL duo scooped Podcast of the Year at the iHeart Radio Awards.
The brothers have enjoyed a wild few months, with Travis winning the Super Bowl and Jason retiring from football – while their podcast also shot to the top of the charts.
Now, the Kelces have been rewarded with a trophy after their New Heights Show beat out the likes of My Favorite Murder and SmartLess to win Podcast of the Year.
Neither brother was in attendance at the ceremony in Austin, Texas, but they did record a video message for the audience, in which Travis joked: ‘Get the f*** outta here… people actually listen to this?’
Jason then went on to thank Taylor Swift‘s fans for voting for them to win – amid his brother Travis’ high profile relationship with the pop superstar.

Beginning their acceptance speech, Jason said: ‘Right now, we are actually talking to the entire iHeart Radio Awards audience,’ before Travis added: ‘Oh s***, well we wish we could be there guys, but we are honored to accept this award.’
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end then added: ‘Podcast of the Year is big s***,’ before Jason continued: ‘It’s an incredible honor, especially for 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, AKA Swifties, for voting for us.’
Taylor’s NFL boyfriend has recently been supporting her on her Eras Tour international leg
Jason and Travis could strike a fresh New Heights deal worth $100m, it has been claimed
Earlier in the night, the Kelce brothers had also won Best Overall Ensemble, but had missed out on Best Sports Podcast to Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay.
In accepting his award on stage, Sharpe joked: ‘I wanted to win this award so bad. No, seriously.’
Although the Kelces couldn’t be in attendance personally, Travis is back on US soil after spending time with his girlfriend Taylor Swift in both Australia and Singapore.
The pop sensation is continuing her sold-out Eras Tour, and Travis joined her for a handful of shows after the end of the NFL season.
Taylor Swift already writes love songs for Travis Kelce: They’re very special
The popstar is famous for writing songs inspired by her partners and exes
Taylor Swift is deeply in love, according to reports, as her romance with the Kansas City Chiefs‘ Travis Kelce continues to blossom and now she’s even writing songs about her latest boyfriend.
The pair began dating publicly in September 2023 after initially keeping it private for a couple of months and the only news that has came out about them is good news as they show no signs of hang-up over their respective exes, Joe Alwyn and Kayla Nicole
In fact, Swift is already writing songs for her current Tight End boyfriend, who is a three-time Super Bowl champion, although fans might never actually get to hear them despite giving her a record-breaking Eras Tour.
“Taylor has already written songs about Travis [Kelce],” a source told Us Weekly. “She’s written at least two songs.
“They have to do with their love story and falling in love with him. She likely won’t share them with anyone. They’re very special.
“Songs are like poetry to her. Just like most people journal, Taylor writes lyrics. Her relationship with Travis has inspired her.”
The pair are no longer shy
After initially only appearing at Chiefs games and quietly sneaking off to see Kelce, the pair are now completely open with how they express their love.
They even offered a public display of affection at Super Bowl LVIII as they kissed on the field after the win over the San Francisco 49ers, showing how comfortably she is with the world seeing her in love, although they keep it private too.
“Thank you for coming, baby,” Kelce said in footage shared by Inside the NFL. “Thank you for coming. Thank you for the support.
“Thank you for coming. Thank you for making it halfway across the world. You’re the best, baby.”
