In the midst of the ongoing buzz surrounding Taylor Swift’s NFL appearances, there’s one player on the Kansas City Chiefs who isn’t swayed by the pop star’s influence—Patrick Mahomes. While his wife, Brittany Mahomes, seems to have fully embraced Swift’s presence at Chiefs games (even sparking rumors of copying her style), Patrick is reportedly standing firm, keeping his focus strictly on the game.
Fans have been loving the NFL-Taylor Swift crossover, especially with her rumored relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift has been a regular fixture at recent Chiefs games, cheering from luxury boxes with Brittany and other friends. Brittany has openly expressed her enthusiasm, not just for the games but also for Swift’s influence. She’s been spotted sporting Taylor-inspired outfits and chatting with the superstar during games, adding fuel to the rumor mill that she’s all in on the Swift hype.
However, Patrick Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, is not hopping on the Swift bandwagon just yet. In a recent lighthearted interview, Mahomes joked that despite his wife Brittany’s clear excitement and budding friendship with Swift, he’s not letting the pop sensation distract him from the task at hand. “I’m all about the Chiefs,” Mahomes said with a laugh, brushing off any suggestions that he should be following in Taylor’s footsteps or adopting her influence in his personal life.
Fans quickly took to social media to weigh in on the lighthearted tension. “Brittany’s obsessed with Taylor, but Patrick is out here acting like he doesn’t even know ‘Shake It Off’—who’s he fooling?” one fan tweeted, adding to the playful speculation.
Though Mahomes and Kelce are known for their strong on-field chemistry, it seems Patrick is drawing the line at the Swift hype off the field. He’s happy to see Kelce thriving in the spotlight with Swift by his side, but when it comes to embracing the full Taylor Swift experience, Mahomes is politely sitting this one out—at least for now.
While Brittany and Swifties across the NFL are thrilled with the ongoing Swift-Mahomes-Kelce crossover, Patrick’s firm stance on keeping his head in the game is earning him his own set of fans. “Patrick’s not following Taylor? Now THAT’S leadership,” one user joked.
At the end of the day, Patrick Mahomes is still the Chiefs’ leader on the field, while Brittany enjoys her newfound camaraderie with one of the world’s biggest pop stars. As the Swift effect continues to sweep through the NFL, fans will be watching to see if Patrick eventually cracks and joins the fun, or if he’ll continue to stand his ground—no matter how many Taylor songs play in the locker room.
