Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is also nominated in several categories at the awards show.
The pop star is competing against Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez.
Swift previously won seven Kids Choice Awards with her numerous accolades.
Like Swift, Mahomes is no stranger to the awards show, having been nominated for the same category in each of the last four years. While he still hopes to win his first blimp, Mahomes faces tougher competition this year in the form of his tight end.
Mahomes collected his third Super Bowl MVP after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in February. Kansas City has won two straight titles and three of the last five.
Although he didn’t score a touchdown in Las Vegas to help win the title, Kelce was vital in the Chiefs’ postseason run. The Cincinnati product scored two touchdowns against Buffalo in the divisional playoff and another against Baltimore in the AFC title game.
