Patrick Mahomes says Chiefs might have run play designed by Taylor Swift

by

As a long-time gamer and sports enthusiast, I must admit that the recent revelation about Taylor Swift’s interest in football has caught my attention like a well-thrown pass finding its mark. Being a fan of both Taylor Swift’s music and Kansas City Chiefs, this news has given me a unique perspective to appreciate the intersection of two worlds I hold dear.

In a recent conversation with NBC football analyst Chris Simms, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed that Taylor Swift embodies the ideal qualities one would expect from the world’s most renowned figure. To add, although Swift may be new to football, she seems to grasp the sport surprisingly fast.

Swift’s play designs seemed almost like a pastime for him. Mahomes shared with Simms that the plays were so impressive they might even use one, hinting at their quality. While it was likely just a jest during preseason practice in Kansas City, if they did decide to implement one of Swift’s plays, the Chiefs would be the only team boasting a play created by Taylor Swift.

Sure enough, Taylor Swift has been in a relationship with Travis Kelce, Kansas City’s tight end, for over a year now. You can often spot her at various Chiefs games, cheering them on enthusiastically. Her support for the team is reminiscent of high school students passionately rooting for their own team. Taylor Swift’s love for sports appears sincere, despite the fact that she can only watch since Kelce plays on the field (to avoid being impolite).

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes effusive in his praise of Taylor Swift

Mahomes was effusive in his praise of Swift, though, well beyond her drawing up imaginary plays that would never be run. The quarterback said of Swift, “…meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is. I think that’s been special to me because she’s…the most famous person in the world, she could not be (genuine).”

The quarterback also finds it beneficial that Taylor Swift influences how women and young girls perceive football, as she generally has a positive impact and is often imitated by her fans. Her attendance at Chiefs games may have significantly boosted the number of female viewers. Mahomes, who has daughters, has personally observed the effect that Taylor Swift’s enthusiasm for football has had on them.

Rather than limiting himself to a masculine role, Mahomes mentions he enjoys spending some fatherly moments with his daughters as they watch football together. It’s worth noting that this isn’t necessarily the case for every father, but analyzing games in preparation for an opponent is indeed part of Mahomes’ professional duties.

The quarterback shared with Simms, “It’s been fascinating to notice the surge of interest in football among young girls and women. Being a father to daughters, I find it incredibly rewarding to observe them enjoying the game as much as I do, spending quality time together while watching football.”
