Patrick Mahomes Reveals How Chiefs Players Initially Reacted To Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift

Patrick Mahomes admitted that Kansas City Chiefs players made jokes at Travis Kelce’s expense at the start of his romance with Taylor Swift.

During the Chiefs QB’s Friday appearance on “CBS Mornings,” Mahomes said Kelce dealt with a handful of “jokes” when the other players learned Kelce was romancing the 34-year-old pop singer, but admitted they’ve since changed their tune.

“At first, I feel like everybody kind of stayed away, just let him do what he was doing,” the Kansas City star told CBS.

“And then he started bringing Taylor around and he realized how cool in person she was and she is,” he added. “So for us — I mean, it was a couple of jokes here and there in the beginning — but now, she’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom and she’s part of the team.”

Mahomes also reflected on the budding friendship between Swift and Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes. He said it’s “cool” the “Shake It Off” hitmaker has “embraced” Brittany.

“So for me, it’s just Travis, man and he’s lucky enough to be with a great girl — and a great woman — and it’s been cool to kind of interact with her and see ’cause she’s top tier of her profession and see how she drives and she becomes that,” the Super Bowl-winning QB said.

“And now I have a first-hand look at that through Brittany and Travis’ eyes … I think that’s why her and Travis match so well,” he added.

Swift recently spilled the details about her romance with Kelce and said they were already a couple when she went to his first game back on September 24.

Swift, who was named by Time magazine as its “Person of the Year” for 2023, gave a wide-ranging interview that included the timeline of her relationship with Kelce.

“This all started when Travis [Kelce] very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift said. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” she added. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
