has admitted he was skeptical when Travis Kelce first told him he was dating Taylor Swift - only believing it once he saw the couple together in person.
Mahomes and Kelce have played side-by-side for the Chiefs since 2017, developing one of the most successful duos in NFL history - and a strong friendship off the field.
Speaking in ESPN's 'The Kingdom', the star quarterback recalled the moment Kelce confided in him about the relationship, days before Swift's first appearance at Arrowhead in September 2023.
'He told me during the week,' Mahomes said in the series. 'It was one of those where I gotta see it until I believe it.'
Despite his initial doubt, Mahomes said it became clear once he saw the couple together that there was a real connection.
Swift's appearance at Arrowhead during the Chiefs' Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears confirmed the relationship and sparked a media frenzy.
Mahomes added: 'You definitely felt the buzz and you could see people in the stadium gravitating towards where she was up there. At the same time, we had business to handle.'
Since then, she's become a regular presence at Chiefs games, often spotted in suites alongside Brittany Mahomes, Patrick's wife.
Swift and Brittany have developed their own close friendship, frequently seen cheering together on game days and attending off-field events in the season.
The two were photographed celebrating victories, attending dinners, and enjoying nights out in New York alongside other high-profile friends.
Meanwhile, this week, Swift aimed a not so subtle dig at male NFL fans when appearing on Kelce's podcast, New Heights.
'As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me,' she said tongue in cheek.
Swift was awkwardly jeered in February when she rocked up to Caesars Superdome to cheer on Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The pop sensation was met with boos from large parts of the 66,000-strong crowd when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time during the Super Bowl, which the Chiefs ultimately lost in humiliating fashion to the Philadelphia Eagles.
With the stadium seemingly boasting more Eagles fans than members of Chiefs Kingdom, Swift did not get a nice reception when cameras zoomed in on her before the carnage unfolded.
The 35-year-old singer appeared to notice the booing, giving a mocking side-eye response as the noise mercilessly rang out around the packed stadium.
