Patrick Mahomes is a Swiftie!
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 29, said during a press conference in New Orleans on Tuesday, Feb. 4, that he has built a “great” friendship with Taylor Swift, 35, since she began dating his teammate Travis Kelce.
“Taylor being at all the games has been awesome,” Patrick said at the conference ahead of the Chiefs upcoming Super Bowl game, per KMBC 9 News.
“…I just know Taylor better now and I feel like I’ve built a great friendship with her. And my wife and Taylor have a built a friendship as well,” he added of his wife Brittany Mahomes.
Patrick also discussed the impact Swift attending games has on younger generations who may not have been football fans before — including his own daughter.
“It’s been awesome to showcase her bringing light to the sport that I love and getting little girls like my daughter into it and watching the game,” he said, per the outlet. “…So it’s just cool to see how football can bring people together from every aspect of life.”
Swift has attended numerous Chiefs games to support her boyfriend Kelce, 35. It is thought she will also be at the team’s Super Bowl game as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 9.

Patrick’s comments about his friendship with Swift come a day after he praised the singer in another press conference ahead of the Super Bowl, which will be held at the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans.
“Taylor Swift is the best,” he said, adding that has merchandise from the star. “I’ve got the top,” he said.

In October 2024, the NFL star revealed on The Drive with Carrington Harrison that Swift has spent a lot of time with his 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye — adding that the pair have baked together.
“She’s made different treats that have been around my house — muffins and donuts and stuff like that,” Patrick said of Swift.
“Sterling’s a big baker as well, so they make some stuff together sometimes,” the father of three added. “I’m not gonna say I don’t eat them.”
