Taylor Swift seems to be all about the Kansas City Chiefs.
Less than a year after the pop star began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes praised her interest in football in an interview with NBC Sports’ Chris Simms. Apparently, her dedication has gotten to the point where she’s started drawing plays for her boyfriend’s team.
Mahomes’ full answer:
“I think it’s cool to see the girls and the women who really love watching football. I know that as a father of a girl, I love these little girls, these daughters, and how much they love spending time with their dad, watching football. And then meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is.
“I think that’s special to me because, like you said, she’s the most famous person in the world, she couldn’t be anything else [genuine]. And she’s really interested in football, and she asks a lot of good questions. She started thinking up plays. We might have to put one in.”
Was Mahomes joking with that last line? We’ll have to wait and see.
The Chiefs enter this season riding the high of back-to-back Super Bowl victories, all while being backed by one of the biggest stars in the game. Not long after Kelce expressed interest in Swift, she became a fixture at Chiefs games all the way up to Super Bowl LVIII.
That’s expected to continue this season as the Chiefs look to win a third straight game, with Mahomes at the peak of his powers and Kelce likely nearing the end of his career at age 34. Kelce also has a number of extracurricular interests, including a nine-figure podcast deal and a racehorse with a flashy name.
