They don’t call her mastermind for nothing. When she isn’t crafting songs, albums and concert setlists, Taylor Swift apparently draws up football plays, as revealed by Patrick Mahomes in a new interview.

While speaking to Chris Simms for NFL on NBC in a video posted Thursday (Aug. 29), the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback gushed about the pop star’s involvement in the sport ever since she started dating tight end Travis Kelce . “She’s really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions,” Mahomes said. “She’s already drawing up plays, so we might have to put one in.”

“Meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is … that’s been special to me, because like you said, [she’s] the most famous person in the world,” added the athlete, who shares daughter Sterling, son Bronze and a new baby on the way with wife Brittany Mahomes. “I think it’s been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football. I know being a girl dad, how cool it is for me … to see these little girls, these daughters and how much they’re loving spending time with their dad watching football.”

The interview comes just a few days ahead of the beginning of the 2024-25 NFL season, which kicks off Sept. 5 with a Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens game. Fans will surely be tuning in to see whether Swift is present at Arrowhead Stadium to support Kelce on the big day, with the 14-time Grammy winner currently on an Eras Tour break following the conclusion of its European leg on Aug. 20.

Mahomes and Kelce also recently sat for a pre-season panel with teammates Harrison Butker, Nick Bolton and Justin Reid, during which the topic of Swift briefly came up again. At one point, the tight end told the event’s host, play-by-play announcer Mitch Holthus, “We love you.” Holthus then asked Kelce if he loves him “more than Taylor,” prompting the Ohio native to respond: “Maybe not.”
