Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not only celebrating back-to-back Super Bowl wins, but he’s also showing off his “Swifty” status. After the Chiefs’ thrilling overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers, Mahomes took part in a quick Q&A session at Disneyland, where he revealed his love for Taylor Swift’s music.
When asked by an ESPN interviewer about the last song he sang in the shower, Mahomes, after a brief pause, responded, “Love Story by Taylor Swift.” His answer delighted Swift’s fans, who flooded social media to celebrate Mahomes’ shoutout to the 2008 hit by his teammate Travis Kelce’s girlfriend.
The 28-year-old quarterback also shared that he had over 300 unread text messages since the Chiefs’ Super Bowl triumph, leaving fans amused at his post-game popularity. Swift’s fanbase, known as “Swifties,” quickly took to TikTok and other platforms to express their excitement over Mahomes’ musical confession, cementing his status as an honorary Swifty.
“Patrick Mahomes confirmed Swifty status,” one fan wrote, while another joked that he must have had “Love Story” stuck in his head after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl afterparties in Las Vegas.
Following the Super Bowl, Mahomes, Kelce, and Swift were spotted at XS Nightclub at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, where Swift’s music was a big part of the celebration. Videos from the event showed Kelce and Swift dancing and kissing while a techno version of “Love Story” played in the background. Kelce was even seen singing along to her hit “You Belong With Me” as the couple exchanged playful glances from across the packed nightclub.
The night marked a major moment for the couple, who have been dating since the summer of 2023. Fans were especially thrilled when Swift posted a TikTok video from the event, marking the first time she publicly shared a post featuring Kelce. The video, which humorously acknowledged the presence of her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, at the club, quickly went viral.
“Accidentally going clubbing with your parents is something everyone should try at least once in their life,” Swift captioned the video, showing a light-hearted moment from the post-Super Bowl festivities.
Fans were overjoyed at the public display of affection between Swift and Kelce. “That’s her first relationship to be this public,” one fan commented, while another added, “Taylor with the hard launch!” Many were excited to see Swift and Kelce fully embrace their relationship on social media, with one fan gushing, “I love them!”
As Mahomes, Kelce, and Swift continue to dominate both the NFL and pop culture, their growing friendship and the impact of Swift’s presence at Chiefs games have only amplified their status as a global phenomenon.
