Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes first crossed paths with Taylor Swift at the NFL Draft
Taylor Swift’s fans love to talk about invisible strings that tie people together, especially between her and fiancé, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
One happened at the 2019 NFL Draft.
After Swift started dating Kelce, the couple began spending time with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, the Kansas City Current co-owner. The couples dined together in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX and attended the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
Swift and Mahomes likely first crossed paths at that 2019 NFL Draft, which was held in Nashville.
ESPN had Mahomes, who was coming off his first season as the Chiefs starting quarterback, join their draft coverage. When Mahomes had finished talking with Robin Roberts, the next guest appeared: Swift.
The interviews were done on a set on a patio overlooking a busy street, and the gap between Mahomes and Swift appearing was short. It seems virtually impossible that Mahomes and Swift didn’t cross paths that night.
Neither of them could have guessed at the time how their lives would later intersect.
