The Webby Awards are an international award that honors the top creators on the internet. The annual award consists of different categories from websites, advertising, and applications to online movies, streaming, and video content, including the biggest podcasts worldwide. With a judging body of over 3000 industry experts, it is one of the highest honors for online creators, often dubbed the Oscars of the Internet.
The 2026 Webby Award Show will be held on May 11, 2026, in Cipriani Wall Street, New York, and it is set to be the 30th edition.

The 34-year-old introduced her podcast in December 2024, and shortly after the debut, it dethroned The Joe Rogan Experience to be the top podcast in the country. Carrying that momentum, she launched the second season earlier this year, and it has been topping the charts, resulting in one of the biggest honors for the creators.

Her podcast connects with a diverse audience because she showcases raw and real-life conversations, relationships, and women in different sports, helping to bridge the gap between sports and non-sports fans. Furthermore, the tone of the show sets it apart, as she is recognized for her witty personality and unfiltered authenticity.

Because of her growing fame, she has hosted some high-profile guests in both seasons. Besides the Kelce brothers, the former first lady, Michelle Obama, actress Elizabeth Banks, the WNBA star, Paige Bueckers, and singer Demi Lovato are some notable guests she has interviewed on her podcast.

Kylie’s impressive latest milestone has drawn praise from Donna Kelce and many others.
