Superstar Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently shared his thoughts on the ongoing romance between his teammate Travis Kelce and global pop icon Taylor Swift.
During a candid interview with CBS Mornings, the two-time Super Bowl champion praised Swift for her down-to-earth nature and her burgeoning friendship with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, as the two couples’ worlds continue to intertwine.
“She’s top tier at her profession, and to see how she drives and becomes that dude is really cool to hear about and to see,” said Mahomes, emphasizing the similarities between Kelce and Swift’s work ethics.
The quarterback continued, “Now I have a firsthand look at that through Brittany and Travis’s eyes.”
When Kelce and Swift first began dating, Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs initially let Kelce handle things his own way. “At first, everybody kind of stayed away, just letting him do what he was doing,” Mahomes recalled. “Then he started bringing Taylor around, and he realized how cool of a person she was — and she is.”
Since the couple became official, Swift has been a frequent guest at Chiefs games, attending multiple matchups, including her first appearance on September 24, when the Chiefs defeated the Chicago Bears. Swift’s involvement with the team has extended beyond the stadium, as she and Brittany Mahomes have developed a close friendship, often seen together at games and other events.
“It’s cool that she’s embraced Brittany, and they’ve built a friendship as well,” Mahomes said. “Now, she’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom, and she’s part of the team.”
Swift’s connection to the Chiefs community is not just limited to her relationship with Kelce and her friendship with Brittany. She has been spotted supporting Kelce at various events, and fans are now enamored with the burgeoning power couple, eagerly tracking every development in their relationship.
Off the field, Mahomes’ family has also welcomed Swift with open arms. In October, Mahomes’ mother, Randi Mahomes, shared a heartwarming Instagram post of Swift posing with her youngest daughter, Mia Randall, after Swift attended the Chiefs’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers. “I love how sweet Taylor was to my girl,” Randi captioned the post, adding a “girl power” hashtag in tribute to Swift’s kindness.
While Patrick Mahomes acknowledges the intense public interest in the Kelce-Swift relationship, he respects his teammate’s wishes for privacy. “Like Trav said, man, I’m going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving,” Mahomes noted in a previous interview.
As the Chiefs prepare for their highly anticipated Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, the excitement surrounding Kelce and Swift’s relationship continues to grow. Fans eagerly await every game, not just for the NFL action but also to see if Swift will be in attendance, supporting her NFL beau and his superstar teammate.
In the meantime, Swift has returned to her music roots, recently spotted leaving Electric Lady Studio in New York City, hinting at potential new collaborations, including with rapper Kendrick Lamar. As her “Eras” tour continues, all eyes are on both Swift and Kelce, who seem to be building a relationship that is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about pairings in both pop culture and sports.
With Christmas approaching and the NFL season heating up, the friendship between Mahomes, Kelce, Brittany, and Swift only strengthens, adding a unique blend of music and sports to Chiefs Kingdom. Fans can only imagine what’s next for these two dynamic couples.
