🚨🐱❤️ TRAVIS KELCE JUST WON A NEW TITLE—AND TAYLOR SWIFT’S CAT FAMILY IS PART OF THE STORY!
🏆 Forget touchdowns and football trophies for a moment! Travis Kelce has another reason to celebrate, and this one has everything to do with cats, his marriage to Taylor Swift, and a surprising fan-voted victory! 😂❤️
According to the results of PEOPLE’s annual Sexiest Man Alive Readers’ Choice Poll, Travis has been crowned Sexiest Cat Dad of 2026! 🐈🔥
The announcement was revealed Tuesday night following more than 250,000 votes across 14 categories. And when it came to the feline fathers, the Kansas City Chiefs star emerged victorious over a surprisingly competitive lineup.
😱 WHO DID TRAVIS BEAT?
The competition included action star Dolph Lundgren, Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood, and rapper MGK, who also happens to be Travis’s childhood neighbor and the artist he booked to headline the first-ever Kelce Jam.
Travis now takes the crown from last year’s winner, Dave Franco!
Apparently, being a football superstar isn’t the only way to win hearts. Sometimes, being associated with three adorable cats helps, too! 😂🐱❤️
🐾 THANK TAYLOR SWIFT FOR HIS CAT-DAD STATUS!
There’s a particularly sweet detail behind Travis’s new title.
PEOPLE noted that Travis qualified for the category after marrying Taylor Swift, a self-described cat lady who is devoted to her three famous feline companions.
Meet the furry trio!
🐈 MEREDITH GREY — Named after the brilliant surgeon from Grey’s Anatomy.
🐈 OLIVIA BENSON — Named after the beloved detective portrayed by Mariska Hargitay in Law & Order: SVU.
🐈 BENJAMIN BUTTON — Taylor’s adorable ragdoll cat, who appeared alongside her on the cover of TIME when she was named its 2023 Person of the Year.
That means Travis has stepped into the role of cat stepdad to three very famous felines! 🥹❤️
And with Taylor’s well-known love of cats, fans can certainly appreciate why his new title has sparked so much amusement.
🏈 TRAVIS HAS BEEN CALLED SEXY BEFORE!
Believe it or not, this isn’t Travis’s first appearance in PEOPLE’s annual sexiest issue.
Back in 2023, the magazine named him Sexiest Athlete.
That was also the year his older brother, Jason Kelce, jokingly suggested that Travis wasn’t even the sexiest man in their own family!
Now, three years later, Travis has collected another playful title—and this time, his feline family is part of the story. 😂🐾
❤️ TAYLOR AND TRAVIS HAVE PLENTY TO CELEBRATE!
The new recognition comes during an exciting week for the couple.
Taylor was at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to cheer on Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs as they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22–6, according to the account provided.
Between football victories, their life together, and Travis’s unexpected new title, the couple continues to attract attention from fans who love following their lives both on and off the field.
But let’s be honest: winning a fan-voted title for being a cat dad is a different kind of achievement!
🐱 THE INTERNET’S NEW FAVORITE QUESTION: WHICH CAT IS TRAVIS’S FAVORITE?
With Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button already enjoying celebrity status thanks to Taylor, fans may now be wondering which of the three has captured their new cat dad’s heart the most.
Of course, there’s no confirmed answer to that question—but it’s certainly a fun conversation for Swifties and cat lovers!
