Other nominees in the male sports star and favorite podcast categories include Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, BTS, and Benson Boone, who are all looking for their first wins in the category.
In the favorite album category, previous winners Carpenter, Swift, and Rodrigo will compete against Cardi B, BTS, Drake, Bieber, and Bruno Mars.

Lastly, fans will get to vote for their favorites in 36 categories, including a new category for watch party: kids’ choice.
The KCAs will be broadcast on CBS, Nickelodeon, and streamed live on Paramount+ for Premium subscribers and on-demand thereafter.
