“I heard she was in the house… so I knew I had to get the ball to Travis,” Mahomes told Fox Sports and Andrews.
Swift, a football enthusiast who supports the Philadelphia Eagles, her home state’s team, might be considering adopting a second NFL team to cheer for, given the speculation about her relationship with Travis Kelce. During the Chiefs’ recent victory, cameras captured her enthusiastically shouting, “Let’s go!” when Kelce scored a touchdown in the third quarter. Later, the pair left the venue together for dinner.
While primarily known for her musical talents, Swift has also garnered attention in the past for dating notable figures like Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, and Taylor Lautner. Kelce might just be the latest addition to her roster of celebrity relationships.
