Quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes‘ dad, Pat Mahomescould be a self-proclaimed Swiftie after spending some time with him Taylor Swift.
“She’s down to earth,” Pat, 53, said of meeting the pop star during a Thursday, January 18, interview with the Kansas City outlet Starcade Media. “I walked up to her and introduced myself to her and she said she knew who I was because she had looked [Netflix’s] Quarterback series.”
Pat called Swift, 34, “down to earth” and noted that the Grammy winner took a photo with him and his wife, as well as his daughter, when they first met. “So I mean, she was real,” he said. “Every time I hang out with her, she just acts like a normal person.”
Swift spent quality time with the Mahomes family while watching his friend Travis Kelce play at Arrowhead Stadium this NFL season. The singer recently met Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomesand her youngest daughter, Mia, during the Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers in October 2023. (Pat Sr. and Randi, who share sons Patrick Jr., 28, and Jackson, 23, split in 2006. She shares Mia, 11, with a partner from another relationship.)
Swift has also struck up a blossoming friendship with Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomessince she started dating Kelce, 34, in the summer of 2023. The women have attended several Chiefs games together — often in matching outfits — and have been spotted on multiple girls’ nights together in New York City and Kansas City.
“Taylor and Brittany have grown even closer in recent months. They have a real friendship and love going to the games together and cheering on their husbands,” a source said exclusively We weekly earlier this month, adding that Brittany “loves” that Swift is dating Kelce and “is so supportive of their relationship.”
Swift has also bonded with other wives and girlfriends of several Chiefs players. She went out to dinner Paige Buechelewife of former backup QB Shane BuecheleAnd Lyndsay Belltight end woman Blake Belland even hosted an NFL watch party for the women at her New York apartment in November 2023.

“Taylor is loving her new friendships with the other wives and girlfriends of Travis’ teammates,” a second insider shared Us at the time. “She appreciates that they know how to have fun, just like her, and she loves cheering on Travis and the Chiefs along with all of them. She definitely has plans to all hang out again soon.
As for her relationship with Kelce, the couple is making a “joint effort to keep their connection alive and thriving” despite their busy schedules, a third source shared. Us earlier this month.
Both Kelce and Swift have proven they are willing to go the extra mile. Kelce traveled to South America in November 2023 to see Swift perform Eras tour concert in Argentina, while Swift has spent most of her time off from her tour traveling back and forth to Kansas City to support the tight end as he reaches the final stretch of his football season.
Swift was last seen in frigid temperatures on Jan. 13 when the Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins in their playoff Wild Card game. She and Brittany wore matching winter coats with their respective partners’ jersey numbers as they cheered — and even did the swag surf — from a private suite. When the temperatures got too brutal, Swift even donated her scarf to an ice-cold fan.
