The Mahomes family has officially joined the ranks of the Swifties! Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, have revealed that their two young children are already big fans of Taylor Swift. And when it comes to blending family, football, and pop culture, it seems the Mahomes household has found the perfect harmony.
Patrick and Brittany, both 28, are the proud parents of two adorable kids: their 3-year-old daughter, Sterling, and 19-month-old son, Bronze. During a recent event at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, where the Chiefs received their Super Bowl LVIII championship rings, the couple shared a fun tidbit about their little ones’ musical tastes.
Turns out, football isn’t the only thing that runs in the Mahomes family – Taylor Swift has found her way into their hearts as well!
“We’re all big football fans in the Mahomes household,” Patrick said with a smile. “And big Taylor Swift fans as well.”
While the event was a memorable one for the Chiefs, it was also a notable moment for Swifties around the world. Although Taylor couldn’t be there in person, as she’s currently in England continuing her Eras Tour, she didn’t miss the opportunity to join in on the celebration virtually. Swift tuned in to Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s Instagram live feed of the ceremony, offering her own energetic congratulations in the comments: “JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL LETS GOOOOOOOO!”
And it wasn’t just a passing comment – Swift also congratulated Hardman on his contract extension with the Chiefs, writing, “AND WE GET ANOTHER YEAR OF MECOLE.” Taylor’s enthusiasm for the Chiefs has only grown over the past year as her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce has blossomed into something much more public, with Swift becoming a fixture at games and a passionate supporter of the team.
Brittany Mahomes couldn’t be more thrilled by the way Swift has embraced the NFL and brought a fresh energy to the game. “I love it,” Brittany told E! News. “I love that it’s getting young girls into football so that they can watch it with their dad.” It’s clear that Taylor’s presence in the NFL has created new avenues for fan engagement, and Brittany is fully on board with that positive shift.
Patrick also chimed in, emphasizing how Taylor’s fandom has amplified the Chiefs’ popularity far beyond the borders of Kansas City. “We went from a nationwide team that was kind of global to a full global worldwide team,” Patrick shared with TIME in April. “That came from Taylor’s fan base.” As the Chiefs continue their quest for more Super Bowl victories, Patrick says the growing visibility has helped the sport evolve. “Football has always been this bruising sport. We want to make it fun, where kids grow up and play football and show their personality and be who they are. This year really magnified that.”
It’s safe to say that the Chiefs’ success on the field has been complemented by a much-needed dose of star-studded energy off it. With Taylor Swift bringing her fans into the fold, and with the Mahomes family embracing the influence of her music, it seems that both football and pop culture are experiencing a fresh era of excitement.
As for the Chiefs, they’re not just basking in their current success – they have their sights set on even more greatness. Patrick reflected on the team’s incredible journey, saying, “The first thing I think of is how great last season was and the adversity we dealt with. Then I’m going to think about how I can get another one for the pinkie finger. It’s going to take a lot of hard work [to win three straight titles]. It’s never been done before for a good reason. It takes a special group of guys, and I think we’ve got that group.”
With the Mahomes family fully invested in the Swiftie world and the Chiefs firmly entrenched as the NFL’s most dominant team, it seems like there’s no limit to what this powerhouse family can achieve—on and off the field.
And for Sterling and Bronze Mahomes, they’re already living the dream, growing up in a household where Taylor Swift and touchdowns go hand in hand. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see them in the front row at a Swift concert one day, singing along to every word, just like their famous parents.
