Noah Kahan reacts to Kids’ Choice Nomination: ‘Holy Sh— I Finally Did It’
Noah Kahan is about to find out that a decade of hard work has officially paid off, and the reward comes in the form of Nickelodeon’s signature green goo. The singer/songwriter recently took to social media to share his excitement over a nomination for the 2026 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, joking that he is finally going to get “slimed.”
This lighthearted celebration captures the pure joy of achievement, acknowledging the journey that led to this moment. Kahan’s post perfectly summed up the feeling: after years of tireless effort, long flights, and hundreds of hours spent in the studio, he is finally getting the slime treatment. He imagined the sensory experience of the tradition, feeling the green goo drip down, noting that it tasted like freedom.
The nomination is a milestone that signals a shift in recognition for Kahan’s growing influence in the music world. This achievement follows a remarkable run of success, highlighted by his 2022 album Stick Season. That project initially debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 14 before climbing to a peak of number 2 in 2024, thanks to the expanded editions of the album.
Kahan’s musical journey has also seen significant crossover appeal. His title track, “The Great Divide,” helped introduce his distinctive folk-pop sound to a much wider audience, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it his highest-charting hit to date.
The buzz surrounding the 2026 Kids’ Choice Awards is building, and Kahan is up for recognition alongside a slate of other popular artists. He is nominated alongside big names like BigXthaPlug, Don Toliver, Role Model, Sombr, and Temper City.
The event itself is scheduled for Saturday, November 14. For Kahan, the nomination is less about the trophy and more about embracing the fun—an acknowledgment that the hard work has led to a moment ripe for celebration, complete with a splash of Nickelodeon green.
