Patrick Mahomes Opens Up About Building a ‘Great Friendship’ With Taylor Swift
Patrick Mahomes is happy Taylor Swift is in his circle. During a press conference ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl, the football player opened up about what it’s like having the pop star in his life since she started dating Travis Kelce — from getting her support at Kansas City Chiefs games to welcoming her into the Mahomes family.

“Taylor being at all the games has been awesome,” the quarterback began in a clip posted by KMBC 9 News Tuesday (Feb. 4). “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.”
“I just know Taylor better now and I feel like I’ve built a great friendship with her,” Mahomes continued. “And my wife [Brittany Mahomes] and Taylor have a built a friendship as well. It’s just cool to see how football can bring people together from every aspect of life.”
The press junket comes just a few days ahead of the big game Sunday (Feb. 9), which will see the Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles and attempt to make history with a record third Super Bowl win in a row. The “Fortnight” singer is expected to attend as she did last year, and has been present at home games throughout the 2024-25 season.
Since Swift first started dating Kelce in summer 2023, the couple has gone on a handful of double dates with Patrick and Brittany, including attending the U.S. Open as a group in September. The Mahomeses share three kids — 3-year-old Sterling, 2-year-old Bronze and newborn Golden — and the quarterback has also previously talked about how the 14-time Grammy winner has bonded with his oldest daughter, telling reporters Monday (Feb. 3) that the two of them get in the kitchen together sometimes.
“[Taylor] has made different treats that have been around my house — muffins and doughnuts and stuff like that,” he said. “Sterling’s a big baker as well, so they make some stuff together sometimes.”
