Swift first caught the public's attention as a Chiefs fan when she attended their game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, 2023, sparking widespread speculation about her relationship with Kelce. Since then, her presence has not only boosted the profile of the team but also inspired a surge in female football fans.
Mahomes, a father of two daughters, reflected on how Swift's involvement has resonated with a broader audience. "I think it's been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football," he said.
He continued, "I know being a girl dad how cool it is for me... to see these little girls, these daughters and how much they're loving spending time with their dad watching football."
Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, are expecting their third child, adding to their growing family that includes daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, 21 months.
Mahomes, who attended Swift’s Eras Tour in Amsterdam with Brittany and Kelce, has previously expressed admiration for Swift. In a December 2023 interview, he praised her professionalism and the positive impact she's had on the team.
"She’s top-tier at her profession, and to see how she drives and she becomes that — Dude, it’s really cool to hear about and to see, and now I have a first-hand look at that through Brittany and Travis’ eyes," he said.
Swift, now a familiar face in the Chiefs community, has become "part of Chiefs Kingdom," according to Mahomes.
