Patrick Mahomes Says Meeting Taylor Swift Was 1 of His Favorite Perks of Playing for the Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes has had a lot of career highlights but forming a bond with Taylor Swift was one of the most memorable moments.

“It would be to play at Arrowhead Stadium and just have all the fans and Chiefs Kingdom out there,” the quarterback, 30, said of his favorite moment of being part of the Kansas City Chiefs while speaking at the local event, Lead to Read KC, on Thursday April 2, per footage shared via X. “That’s a lot of fun.”

Mahomes added, “I got to meet Taylor Swift, that was pretty cool too.”

Since Swift, 36, and Travis Kelce began dating summer 2023, the pop star has grown close to her fiancé’s teammates and their respective partners. Patrick, who is good friends with Kelce, and wife Brittany Mahomes have joined the couple’s inner circle.

After Swift made her debut at the Chiefs game at Arrowhead stadium in September 2023, Patrick gushed about how the Grammy winner is “really cool.”

“[She’s] good people,” he gushed. “But like Trav said, man, I’m going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving.”

The group have enjoyed countless double dates. Brittany and Swift have also been by each other’s side rooting on their partners in multiple Chiefs games.

When Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in August 2025, both Brittany and Patrick reacted to the couple’s newest relationship milestone.

“Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two,” Brittany wrote via her Instagram Story alongside the couple’s announcement, adding a white heart and a crying-happy face emojis.

Patrick, for his part, reshared the news with multiple red heart emojis.

At Kelce and Patrick’s restaurant, 1587 Prime, the teammates added drinks inspired by Swift and Brittany to the steakhouse’s menu. Brittany’s drink is the Queen B while Swift’s beverage is The Alchemy which is inspired by a song she wrote about her romance with Kelce.

“I’m not a big liquor drinker myself but from everybody I’ve heard from, it’s a really good drink and obviously wanted to have an ode to Taylor and how important she is, not only to us but this city as well,” Patrick said in a September 2025 appearance on “The Drive” on 610 Sports Radio.

In addition to enjoying Swift’s company, Patrick is a big fan of her music — long before she started dating his best friend. When Swift released The Life of a Showgirl last year, Patrick declared the album would be on repeat in the Chiefs locker room.

“I haven’t been able to hear the album yet, but I’m super-excited to be able to do that. And it’ll be blaring all through the Chiefs facility tomorrow. We’ll be supporting Taylor,” he gushed.
