Patrick Mahomes isn’t here because he claims Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were a distraction during the NFL season.
Speaking to ESPN over the weekend, Patrick said: “People see Taylor Swift and Travis as a whole and they make a huge deal out of it because it is a huge deal. “I think it’s a bigger deal for the fan base than it is for the guys , who are actually in the building.”
He added: “I was lucky enough to meet Taylor and see what a good person she is. I think you can understand why it hasn’t become a distraction or anything like that because it’s important to everyone to do their best every day. We’ll see when we’re in the off-season, maybe I’ll go to Europe to see a concert or something.”
Patrick and Travis are obviously super close and Patrick’s wife Brittany Mahomes has also been spending a lot of time with Taylor in recent months.
A source recently told Us Weekly, “Taylor is loving her newfound friendships with the other wives and girlfriends of Travis’ teammates. She appreciates that they know how to have fun just like she does, and she loves cheering on Travis and the Chiefs alongside all of them.”
Meanwhile, another source told the outlet that “Brittany is excited to develop a real friendship with Taylor.” They have hung out together a few times and have become quite close in a short period of time. Brittany thinks Taylor is so sweet and down to earth and they get along really well. The fact that Patrick and Travis are best friends makes things even better. They have a lot of fun and love cheering on their men together.”
