Mahomes Shares How He Set Up Travis Kelce’s Relationship with Taylor Swift

Patrick Mahomes reveals the crucial 11-word comment that helped spark the romance between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

In an unexpected twist of fate, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has revealed that he might have played a pivotal role in igniting the romantic spark between his teammate, Travis Kelce, and pop sensation Taylor Swift. The football world and Swift’s fans alike were surprised to learn that Mahomes’ subtle push led to the now-iconic romance between the two.

A Chance Encounter That Changed Everything

The story goes back to the summer of 2023, when Kelce and Swift’s paths crossed for the first time. Although rumors of their romance swirled towards the end of that year, it wasn’t until Mahomes spoke up in May 2024 that the full extent of his matchmaking involvement came to light. Mahomes admitted to playing a crucial role by encouraging Kelce to take a leap of faith and pursue Swift.

“I like to take some of the credit,” Mahomes said during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

The Friendship Bracelet Plan

It all started when Kelce, emboldened by his quarterback’s encouragement, decided to take a shot and meet Swift at one of her concerts. The now-famous plan? To hand her a friendship bracelet with his phone number written on it. Mahomes, who was hosting Kelce in his suite during the concert, seemed to have been more than just a spectator.

“He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker,” Mahomes explained, adding, “I had some input in there as well. I was like, ‘Dude, you should just go for it. Just go for it!’”

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift: From Friendship to Romance

Thanks to Mahomes’ words of encouragement, Kelce took the plunge and attended Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour concert in July 2023. This would go down in history as the beginning of what would become one of the most talked-about celebrity couples of the year. As their connection blossomed, Swift began attending Chiefs games, showing support for her new beau from the stands, alongside Mahomes’ wife, Brittany.

Since that pivotal moment, Kelce and Swift have been inseparable, with their relationship sparking endless media attention. Their chemistry has even fueled playful conspiracy theories among Kelce’s family, with his brother Jason joking about the influence Swift might have had on the team’s victories.

“I kind of feel like you guys are the ‘Angels in the Outfield,’ there’s some unknown [conspiracy]…” Jason said on an episode of the New Heights podcast.

The Chiefs’ Success and Swift’s Influence

As if the romance wasn’t enough, Kelce and Swift’s presence together seemed to coincide with an impressive streak of victories for the Kansas City Chiefs. With Swift regularly attending home games at Arrowhead Stadium, some fans and media outlets have speculated that the pop star’s support might be contributing to the Chiefs’ remarkable form. Kelce’s brother Travis responded to the playful comments, calling it “Tayvoodoo,” humorously attributing the team’s success to a mysterious force, all while maintaining that luck and hard work were also at play.

Whether it’s the power of love, luck, or a little bit of both, it’s clear that Mahomes’ encouragement and Kelce’s bold move helped set the stage for one of 2023’s most exciting celebrity couples.
