Patrick Mahomes praises Taylor Swift's football knowledge, stating she discusses the sport like a coach and asks insightful questions

Patrick Mahomes, a Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, has been captivated by Taylor Swift, who he describes as the most grounded and committed to learning football. Mahomes explains that Swift is always working on something, whether it's shooting a music video or singing a song. He also notes that Swift gives football just as much thought as musical projects, asking the right questions when discussing it.

Swift and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, started spending more time with Swift after she began dating Patrick's teammate Travis Kelce in summer 2023. Their relationship helped transform the Chiefs from a nationwide team to a full global worldwide team, thanks to Taylor's fanbase. While some football fans criticized the NFL's heavy coverage of Swift's attendance at Chiefs games, Patrick and his fellow players "embraced" the team's newfound attention.

Swift grew particularly close to Patrick's wife, often supporting Kelce and Brittany at NFL games. They celebrated the team's Super Bowl LVIII victory at a star-studded Las Vegas afterparty in February. Following the Super Bowl win, Patrick and Brittany took a family trip to Disneyland with their kids, Sterling and Bronze. In an ESPN interview, Patrick revealed that he pulls from Swift's discography for his go-to shower music, including "Love Story" by Taylor Swift.
