Is the Kansas City Chiefs taking tips from pop superstar, Taylor Swift? Well, it seems so as quarterback Patrick Mahomes revealed but not mere tips, she reportedly is drawing up plays for them using her newly-discovered offensive mastermind.
Swifties are well-familiar with the mastermind of the “Lover” singer and her songs’ lyrics are proof of that. But since she started taking an interest in the gridiron after getting into a relationship with star tight end Travis Kelce, she has discovered her talent for designing plays.
During an interview with NBC Sports, the three-time Super Bowl champion opened up about how the pop star has been designing plays for the Chiefs. And the team is even considering implementing those plays in the coming season, starting September 5.
She’s really interested in football. She asks many great questions. She’s already drawing up plays, so we might have to put one in.Patrick Mahomes told Chris Simms
Judging from the signal-caller’s conduct, he seemed serious about his statement but he could also be joking. But it wouldn’t totally be a surprise as Kansas City is known for having a playful approach regarding their offensive line and still bringing out results.
Regardless, the coming season would be thrilling to watch as the Chiefs are aiming for a historic three-peat after making crucial changes in the roster, especially within the receiving squad. Additionally, their ‘lucky-charm’ Swift is also speculated to attend the Chiefs games regularly for the starting several weeks as she plans to stay in Kansas City during her break from Eras Tour.
How Andy Reid’s coaching philosophy helps Chiefs navigate Travis Kelce’s celebrity relationship
Many assume having a global star like Swift is a distraction for the Chiefs’ locker room because of her constant spotlight, which not only affects her beau Kelce but also the whole Chiefs team. But Mahomes put forward a different perspective that the team follows, thanks to head coach Andy Reid.
[Andy Reid] He always says let your personality show and he wants you to have fun. When you have a guy like Trav and dating one of the most famous people in the world, it's just cause he's such a good dude. It's true, it's real. He's outside the building doing his stuff, [and] when he's in the building, he's working his tail off to be the best of the best.Mahomes added.
The highest-paid tight end, as well, deserves credit for not letting Swift be a distraction for him or his team. Despite giving her plenty of time and attention, Kelce never fails to show for his team. He even compensated for the lack of competent wide receivers last season, forming his duo with Mahomes and leading the Chiefs to their consecutive Super Bowl victory.
