The Kansas City Chiefs, led by their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes are currently preparing to take on the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game . Ahead of the decisive game, Mahomes’ dad Patrick Mahomes Sr. is making headlines for his comments about Patrick’s wife Brittany Mahomes, and Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend Taylor Swift .
During a recent interview with WFAN Sports Radio’s Evan & Tiki show on Thursday, Mahomes Sr. revealed that he will be cheering his son and the Kansas City-based football team during their AFC championship game from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore this Sunday. However, when he was asked whether he would be sitting alongside Taylor Swift and their crew in the suite, Mahomes Sr. had a blunt response.
I hope not. Patrick Mahomes Sr. said
The former MLB pitcher might not have had any ill intentions while making that comment since he praised Taylor Swift before answering that question. Mahomes Sr. shared a story of how he met Swift for the first time and labeled her as a ‘very down-to-earth person.’
She’s nice. Actually very down to earth. I thought somebody that famous, you never know how that’s going to go. So, the first time I met her, I kind of walked up to her to introduce myself. And she said, ‘Yeah, I know who you are. I watched that quarterback series. I know you’re [Patrick’s] dad. Patrick Mahomes Sr. said
