Superstar Taylor Swift can sing, dance, write music, sell out historic concert venues, impact local economies with her shows and, it turns out, even create possible game-winning plays for Super Bowl-winning NFL teams.
On Thursday, Aug. 29, in a new NFL on NBC interview with Chris Simms, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patric Mahomes revealed that Swift is not only genuinely "interested" in the game of football, she's drawing up plays for her boyfriend Travis Kelce's Super Bowl-winning team.
"She's really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions. She's already drawing up plays so we might have to put one in," Mahomes, a close friend of Kelce's, told Simms, while also acknowledging the impact Swift's relationship with the Chiefs' tight end has had on the game itself.
"(Attention) went up another level," he explained. "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."

Despite her undeniable impact and influence, Mahomes told Simms that Swift is equal parts down-to-earth and incredibly kind.
"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," Mahomes explained.

During an interview for an episode of Barstool Sports’ Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, Kelce explained that during a Kansas City Chiefs vs Chicago Bears game, Swift eschewed security and loads of attention in order to simply enjoy being just another fan in the stands.
“She really won me over with that one,” Kelce said at the time, noting that Swift wanted to “be around family and friends, and experience this with everybody." According to the tight end, Swift walked through the front door just like everybody else, even though Kelce had offered to arrange for Swift to arrive at Arrowhead incognito.
“She just walked right through the front door,” he said. There was no “talking to security, making sure she gets to her [seat]” and, he thought to himself, “Damn, she’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me and do things like that.”
