Boos for Travis Kelce, cheers for Patrick Mahomes
Mahomes had his wife Brittany sitting along with him, and NFL player Marquise Brown was also present in the front row.
The game was played between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves, and the former decided to troll Kelce calling him Taylor Swift's boyfriend on their social media too, reported Fox News.
"Our guy Pat and @taylorswift13’s boyfriend in the house!" the team captioned while sharing the clip of the NFL star on X.

Mahomes, who grew up in Texas, is close to Dallas. Interestingly, Mahomes also used to play his college football at Texas Tech in Lubbock. Kelce and Mahomes will now aim to lift the Super Bowl for the third consecutive time in the upcoming season for the Kansas City team.
Meanwhile, in the NBA, Mavericks have been ruthless during their playoff games, and have taken a strong lead of 3-0 on their home turf.
