Taylor Swift’s road to becoming NFL WAG began with football ‘bestie’ Brittany Mahomes
In September 2023, as the Kansas City Chiefs set out to win a second consecutive Super Bowl, Brittany Mahomes was inarguably the most talked-about WAG in the NFL.
So it was unsurprising that the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes would play a role in Taylor Swift’s journey to becoming the most famous NFL WAG ever after she began dating Chiefs tight end — and Patrick’s good buddy — Travis Kelce.
To the public, the two women formed a fast friendship after Swift casually sidled into a private suite at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023.
And it has endured. Mahomes introduced Swift to other Chiefs WAGs. Swift introduced Mahomes to her A-list friends. Birthday parties. A New Year’s Eve celebration. And, of course, celebrating a Super Bowl win together.
Now, just days before Swift and Kelce marry, the question is: Has Mahomes been tapped as a bridesmaid?
Just weeks after announcing her engagement last August, Swift helped Mahomes celebrate her 30th birthday over a celebratory weekend in Nashville.
Mahomes partied for the first time with the superstar at a postgame bash on the Country Club Plaza with Kelce and his teammates after the singer’s first game in Kansas City.
It was Mahomes consequently photographed and shown during numerous NFL broadcasts at Swift’s side at Chiefs home games, the two women hugging and cheering on their partners’ accomplishments on the field.
During a “Thursday Night Football” game in October 2023 images of them hugging after a successful Kelce catch went viral, delighting the Swifties army.
Even SportsCenter shared the images.
Extra TV crowned them “football besties.”
Fans made comments like this: “I love the girl power!”
“When the new history books are written, Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes relationship will be 95% of the material,” TV comedy writer Don Mastro joked on X.
Mahomes was already a fan when Swift began dating Kelce. Brittany and Patrick attended both of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts at Arrowhead in July 2023.
Her subsequent football-forged friendship with the superstar eventually involved cheering on the team home and away as the Chiefs marched to that second consecutive Super Bowl.
On Oct. 1, 2023, the newly minted besties attended a Chiefs vs. Jets game at MetLife Stadium with an A-list group of Swift’s friends that included Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.
Two months later, shortly before Christmas, they watched the Chiefs defeat the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Swift was seen lifting Mahomes off the ground to celebrate a Chiefs touchdown.
Brittany and Patrick also became a fierce foursome with Swift and Kelce, celebrating a New Year’s Eve together and drawing attention on outings that included an appearance at the 2024 U.S. Open tennis tournament.
In December 2024, Brittany and Patrick dressed in costume as Swift and Kelce at a party Kelce threw to celebrate the end of Swift’s Eras Tour.
So it’s likely a safe assumption the Mahomeses won’t be far from their friends on their big day.
