'Didn't call me, they called Brittany': Patrick Mahomes on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's post-New Heights FaceTime
Taylor Swift's
New Heights
debut has already taken over the internet, but
Patrick Mahomes
just added a hilarious behind-the-scenes detail that makes the whole moment even better. Turns out, after Swift wrapped recording with Travis and Jason Kelce, she and Travis FaceTimed Brittany Mahomes while Patrick himself was just hanging around awkwardly in the background.
Patrick Mahomes spills the behind-the-scenes FaceTime moment
Speaking to reporters, Mahomes revealed that he actually knew about Swift's
New Heights
appearance before the rest of the world, thanks to that unexpected call to his wife.
'I knew before y'all did just because they called me after the podcast was done, didn't call me, they called Brittany, I was in the back of the FaceTime.'
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback laughed as he told the story, clearly amused at how he'd been reduced from star athlete to background extra in the league's most high-profile celebrity crossover.
The NFL's favorite friendship triangle strikes again
Moments like this are exactly why the Mahomes-Kelce-Swift connection keeps trending. Patrick and Travis have been close teammates for years, and Brittany Mahomes has quickly struck up a friendship with Taylor, often spotted together in the Chiefs suite during games.
From champagne celebrations to girls' nights out, the Swift-Brittany connection has become one of the most talked-about friendships in sports. And now, apparently, it extends to casual FaceTime calls after podcast tapings whether Patrick gets a front-row seat or not.
The New Heights episode everyone's talking about
This FaceTime happened right after Swift's first-ever appearance on
New Heights
, the podcast hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. The build-up to the episode was massive, cryptic teasers, symbolic hints like the orange backdrop and episode drop date of the 13th, and Swift's own cheeky teaser line,
'If there's one thing male sports fans want on their screens… it's more of me.'
The episode also included Swift announcing her 12th studio album,
The Life of a Showgirl
, with major landmarks lighting up in orange to celebrate.
Even in the middle of training camp, Patrick Mahomes found himself in the middle of pop culture's biggest moment, sort of. The Chiefs' star may have been relegated to the back of the FaceTime this time, but considering the NFL-Swiftie crossover hype, it's safe to say he'll have a front-row seat for plenty more moments like this.

Viral Video: Ex-FBI director James Comey is a ‘Swiftie', says Taylor Swift helps him deal with Donald Trump, netizens call it cringe
In a bizarre video, former FBI Director James Comey on Sunday shared a video on his social media, revealing that pop singer Taylor Swift has long been the soundtrack of his family's life, and not only that, but she is a source of wisdom when it comes to dealing with bullies. He mocked former President Donald Trump while he proudly mentioned a family group chat under the name 'Swiftie' and admitted that he listens to 'Tay Tay' while mowing the lawn. According to Fox News, Comey, a lawyer and former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, began the video by sharply criticising Trump, accusing him of embarrassing the US alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin and describing the situation as a 'bad dream you can't wake up from'. He also mentioned he is such a huge 'Swiftie' fan that he has attended two Swift concerts and has even helped relatives afford tickets. Comey says Taylor Swift inspires him to stand up to bullies without stooping to their level James Comey went on to explain that Taylor Swift's example helps him push back against "bullies" without adopting their behaviour, subtly referencing Donald Trump and his supporters. He acknowledged that while satirical posts mocking Trump can be entertaining, they also make him uneasy. "But I have to be honest, it also leaves me with a strange feeling at times, because I don't want us to become like Trump and his followers," he continued. "There are far more decent, honest, kind people in America than there are mean jerks. And don't get me wrong, we have our jerks, millions of them." This is not parody. This is former FBI director James Comey. After using his power for years to entrap Trump, Flynn and others, he tries now to come across as a normal guy, a Taylor Swift fan, and a champion of civility and decorum. I'd love to see this sociopath locked up. He also went on to criticise the Republican Party for what he described as "stunning coarseness," claiming it reflects only a small, fringe portion of the nation. "I am not an advocate for weakness. "Of course, we need to stand up to jerks and defend what matters, but I think we have to try to do that without becoming like them, which is what makes me think about Taylor Swift," he said. "She's made clear that she sees Donald Trump for what he is. Last year, she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him. Netizens react to James Comey's viral video As soon as Comey shared the video on his X (formerly called Twitter), it quickly grabbed the attention of Taylor Swift's fans. One said, "This weak-ass Soy-Boy was actually the Dir of our FBI!!! WTAF??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂James Comey Declares Himself a 'Swiftie,' Says Taylor Swift's Music Helps Him Oppose Trump" While according to another, it is "Embarrassing" Embarrassing "A new James Comey hostage video just dropped. This time, he calls himself a 'Swiftie' and says Taylor Swift helps him cope with Donald Trump. You really can't make this up," another added. "James Comey says he's 'in a Swiftie group chat' and 'Struggles on how to stand up to bullies' Note: James Comey is a 64-year-old man and former head of the FBI responsible for protecting our National Security." One commented, "I feel for Taylor Swift, bet she had to watch the creepy video." "The face of guilt." "That Swifty wasn't so swift with the FBI," a user added. One joked, "He is not helping himself. Quite to the contrary. 🤡🤡😂😂"

Sydney Sweeney to go naked if Buffalo Bills win Super Bowl 2025? Truth behind the viral claim
Love her, hate her, but you cannot ignore her! Sydney Sweeney has firmly cemented herself in the spotlight – even more so after her American Eagle jeans ad, which sparked a whole conversation about an apparel company promoting eugenics. Now, the Euphoria actor finds herself in the middle of another fix, with a statement being attributed to her that Sweeney would celebrate 'naked' if the Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl. On the work front, Sydney Sweeney's Americana has bombed at the box office(AFP) However, the actor has never particularly expressed support for the Bills, so why the sudden love for the team? Here's the truth behind what happened. Sydney Sweeney to celebrate Bills' Super Bowl win 'naked'? A statement attributed to Sweeney reads 'Let's be honest, a Super Bowl win would be the ultimate reason to celebrate. If they win, you'll definitely see me naked in full Bills glory-because this is my team, and I'll do whatever it takes to show my love.' This was shared on Mafia Bill - a Buffalo Bills fan page. Another page, Buffalo Bills Fans Club, carried the report on August 6. However, Hindustan Times could not find any such statement made by the actor, and this seems to be fabricated.

How much John Dutton role earned him Furthermore, Bills is not the only NFL team getting Sweeney's purported love. Six days back, the same time that Mafia Bill put out their post, two other NFL fan pages posted the same news. We Love Chicago Bears and We Love Cleveland Browns, the pages which support the respective NFL teams, shared that Sweeney had apparently said she would celebrate 'naked' if their teams won the Super Bowl. Again, no such statement was made, and the entire matter appears fabricated. On the work front, Sweeney's Americana has bombed at the box office, and fans will get to see her next in Christy – which tells the story of boxer Christy Martin. The upcoming movie will premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 5.
