JUST IN: Patrick Mahomes Opens Up About Travis Kelce (And His Romance With Taylor Swift)

NFL athletes Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce share a strong bond while playing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes expressed his deep connection with Kelce by mentioning, “I truly consider him like family,” on NFL Live on ESPN in November 2023.

Mahomes also had positive remarks about Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift. When asked about meeting Swift during a press conference a few months earlier, Mahomes responded warmly, stating, “She was really nice and a good person. However, I respect their privacy and prefer not to delve into it further.”

Kelce’s influence on popular culture surged when he began dating music icon Taylor Swift. Despite the attention their relationship generated, Mahomes chose to focus on their football responsibilities. When asked about the increased spotlight on the Chiefs due to Swift’s presence at their games, Mahomes downplayed the hype, comparing it to winning the Super Bowl. He emphasized that while Swift and Kelce’s relationship is significant, their focus remains on their football duties, indicating, “It may be more impactful for the fans than for us players within the team.”
