Taylor Swift is getting stuck in when it comes to cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce at Kansas City Chiefs games!
While speaking to Chris Simms for a new NFL on NBC interview that aired on Thursday, Aug. 29, Kelce’s teammate and close friend Patrick Mahomes, 28, praised Swift, 34, once again, and explained she’s genuinely “interested” in the sport.
The “Love Story” singer attended her first Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, 2023 when she and Kelce, 34, first sparked dating rumors.
“Meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is… that’s been special to me, because like you said [she’s] the most famous person in the world,” Mahomes told Simms.
“She’s really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions. She’s already drawing up plays so we might have to put one in,” the quarterback revealed.
While discussing whether the attention surrounding him and the Chiefs “went up to another level” once Swift showed an interest in the sport, Mahomes responded, “I think it’s been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football.”
“I know being a girl dad how cool it is for me… to see these little girls, these daughters and how much they’re loving spending time with their dad watching football,” the athlete continued.
Mahomes shares daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 21 months, with his wife Brittany Mahomes, 28. The high school sweethearts, who married in 2022, are expecting their third baby together; another little girl.
Mahomes revealed that when Swift and Kelce first began dating, “everybody stayed away” and “just let [Kelce] do what he was doing.”
“Then, he started bringing Taylor around, and he realized how cool of a person she was, and she is, and so for us, there were a couple of jokes here and there at the beginning,” he added at the time.
“She’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom,” Mahomes said. “And she’s part of the team.”
