In a surprising intersection of pop culture and sports, NFL star Patrick Mahomes hinted that the Kansas City Chiefs might incorporate a play designed by none other than Taylor Swift this season.
The friendship between Swift and Mahomes has blossomed ever since she began dating Travis Kelce, with whom she made her relationship public last year. Swift’s presence has not only sparked a surge in female viewership of NFL games but also a noticeable increase in the sales of Kelce’s jerseys.
During a recent interview with NBC, Mahomes expressed his appreciation for the positive impact Swift has had on the league.
“I think it’s been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football,” Mahomes said. He also shared his personal perspective as a father, adding, “I know being a girl dad, how cool it is for me to see like these little girls – these daughters – and how much they’re loving to spend time with their dad, watching football.”
Mahomes didn’t hold back his admiration for Swift, calling her “genuine and cool,” especially considering her immense fame. He was pleasantly surprised by her genuine interest in football, noting:
“She’s really interested in football, and she asks a lot of great questions. Started drawing up plays.”
He then playfully suggested, “We might have to put one in,” leaving fans to wonder if a Swift-inspired play could actually make its way onto the field.
Swift’s involvement with the NFL appears to go beyond just being supportive of her boyfriend. Her passion and curiosity about the sport might lead to an unexpected yet exciting contribution to the game, adding another layer of intrigue to the Chiefs’ upcoming season.
