The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for an exciting Christmas Day game at Arrowhead Stadium, and both fans and the team are buzzing with anticipation.
Adding to the excitement, pop superstar Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, is expected to be in attendance, cheering for her boyfriend and the team. Her presence is being hailed as a special Christmas gift for the Chiefs’ faithful, especially considering her global popularity.
Christmas traditions often involve gift-giving among friends and teammates, and this year, the Chiefs’ players are no exception.
Patrick Mahomes, the team’s star quarterback, shared in an interview that he and his close friend and teammate, Travis Kelce, exchanged meaningful gifts during the holiday season.
According to Mahomes, Kelce surprised him and their offensive teammates with Bearbricks, a collectible designer toy produced by the Japanese company Medicom Toy. “I’ve wanted to buy a Bearbrick for a long time,” Mahomes revealed. “Britney [Mahomes’ wife] wouldn’t let me take it, so now she has no excuse,” he added with a laugh, referring to his wife’s initial reluctance about the collectible. Mahomes said he plans to display the figurine either in his game room or his man cave, though Britney isn’t too thrilled with the idea.
In return, Mahomes didn’t hold back in showing appreciation for his teammates. He gifted his offensive linemen with custom-fitted golf clubs and specially designed luggage to carry on the road. In addition, Mahomes handed out pairs of his new red-and-white Mahomes W sneakers to several members of the team. He joked that he hoped his O-line could take their new clubs out for a few rounds of golf with him next year. The competitive quarterback also bragged that, despite many rounds of golf with Kelce, he remains unbeaten. “I’ve played with Travis at least 100 times and never lost,” Mahomes said with a grin.
Beyond their on-field chemistry, Mahomes and Kelce have developed a strong friendship off the field. The two often hang out at each other’s homes and spend time together outside of football, highlighting their close bond.
The friendship extends to their significant others as well. Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend, has become friends with Britney Mahomes, creating a close-knit group. In a recent interview on CBS, Mahomes praised Swift, calling her a wonderful person and expressing how much fun it is to interact with her. “Travis is lucky to be with such a great girl, and it’s been amazing watching her at the top of her profession. She embraces Britney, and I can see why they’re so compatible,” Mahomes added.
The Chiefs’ Christmas Day matchup, combined with the added excitement of Swift’s expected presence, is shaping up to be a memorable holiday event for Kansas City fans. Whether it’s on the field or off, the camaraderie between Mahomes, Kelce, and their loved ones continues to shine. Chiefs Kingdom is eager to celebrate both the game and the festive spirit that comes with it.
