NFL star Patrick Mahomes claims he played ‘matchmaker’ for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where the 28-year-old NFL star shared how he played “matchmaker” for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

Mahomes quipped, “I like to take some of the credit”.

“I was the one who invited Travis to the first Taylor concert when the friendship bracelet [idea came up]. He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker.”

“I had some input in there as well. I was like, ‘Dude, you should go for it. Just go for it.’ And you know Travis, man. He does it. He’s a great dude,” Mahomes said.

Kelce, the Chiefs’ 34-year-old tight end, shared the idea on his podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, in July 2023.

He told his brother, Jason Kelce, “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”

However, the Chief tight-end said he and Swift didn’t get to meet at that time because “she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.”
