Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently shared some insight into the relationship between his teammate Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift.
Mahomes and Kelce have developed a close friendship over the years, and they first met Swift after a game against the Chicago Bears. They also had a brief interaction with the pop sensation at the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville.
In an interview with Time, Mahomes praised Swift for her down-to-earth nature and strong work ethic. He described her as always being busy, whether it’s shooting a music video, writing a song, or learning about football. Mahomes noted that Swift’s attention to detail and business mindset were evident in her conversations, comparing her approach to that of a coach.
The revelation of Kelce’s connection to Swift sparked a surge of interest in the Chiefs, with Mahomes acknowledging that the team’s global fanbase expanded significantly. However, there were also concerns that the extra attention could be a distraction, potentially affecting the team’s performance in late November and December.
Despite the mixed reactions, Mahomes emphasized that the Chiefs embraced the spotlight and enjoyed the increased visibility.
He highlighted the importance of showcasing personalities and individuality in football, aiming to make the sport more enjoyable for fans and players alike.
Mahomes believed that the past year had highlighted the team’s commitment to embracing new opportunities and celebrating the unique aspects of each player.
