After Patrick Mahomes recently spilled the beans that Taylor Swift was drawing up plays for boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs tight end verified that she thinking through the playbook.
During an interview on the Rich Eisen Showon Tuesday, Sept. 3, Kelce spoke about Swift getting into the X’s and O’s of football. “She had just been so open to learning the game, she didn’t know much about the rules or anything…I think she was just curious about the profession,” Kelce, 34, said.
“I know none of the plays have gotten to Coach Reid yet, but if they ever do I’ll make sure everyone knows it was her creation,” he added.
When asked if Swift, 34, creates plays for other players on the team, Kelce replied, “She’s a little biased and just creates plays for me. We’ll see if they can make it to Coach Reid’s office.”
The news of Swift’s interest in playcalling first came up when Mahomes, 29, spoke with NBC commentator Chris Simms on Thursday, Aug. 29 and praised Swift, while explaining that she’s genuinely “interested” in the sport.
The “Love Story” singer attended her first Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, 2023 when she and Kelce first sparked dating rumors.
“Meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is… that’s been special to me, because like you said [she’s] the most famous person in the world,” Mahomes told Simms.
“She’s really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions. She’s already drawing up plays so we might have to put one in,” the quarterback revealed.
While discussing whether the attention surrounding him and the Chiefs “went up to another level” once Swift showed an interest in the sport, Mahomes responded, “I think it’s been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football.”
