If we talk about NFL friendships, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are the frontrunners. Both share a great camaraderie. But the week 3 game against the Falcons left fans wondering. In many plays, the QB passed the ball to other wide receivers than the open tight end. When asked about it, the MVP said that defenses are targeting the TE and he doesn’t want to lose the ball. An analyst has an interesting take on this situation.

Former Chiefs guard Geoff Schwartz claimed that the team is trying to be less reliable on the veteran TE who is nearing the end of his career. But he later muted his tweet. Why? Out of the blue, Kelce’s popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift was in the conversation. The ex-NFLer tweeted, “I had to mute a tweet explaining Kelce’s lack of production because it got flooded by these weirdos.” Who are these people he is referring to here?

There’s a theory floating among Swifties and Kelce’s fans that Mahomes is purposefully ignoring his teammate. It claims that the QB hates TE’s girlfriend because of their political differences. The pop star has declared her love for left-leaning Kamala Harris while Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes is a supporter of right-leaning Donald Trump. The season is getting divisive!

The players are in a fix. Their bond looks strong and nothing matters more than a win. Schwartz understands the locker room mentality and his comments look more logical here. Both of them are eyeing a historic feat. After back-to-back Super Bowls, this is their quest for the record 3rd Trophy. Also, they haven’t revealed their political ideologies ever and keep it a secret. Hence, the theory looks more like a distraction.

The theory was fueled when Swift didn’t attend the Falcons game. However, the QB has shown maturity on political stances previously as well.

Patrick Mahomes’ neutral stance on 2024 Elections

Last month, while his wife was being bashed by fans for liking Trump’s post (which she later unliked), the MVP stayed cool. He didn’t lose his temper, even for a second. When reporters asked him, his reply was classy, as he said that he was neutral and voters should do their research. He later reiterated his stance when Trump called Brittany ‘his supporter’.

After the former president said that he liked Brittany better than Patrick Mahomes, the QB didn’t show any emotion whatsoever. He described the situation perfectly, saying, “It’s in the political times, people are going to use stuff here and there. But I can’t let that affect how I go about my business every single day and live my life and try to live it to the best of my ability.” And he has always been about his business. A family man, he keeps his personal things personal. But one thing is public. The love between his wife and Kelce’s girlfriend.

Even after the Trump saga, they enjoy each other’s company. Brittany and Taylor were seen enjoying the US Open Finals in New York. During the game, they even hugged each other. A section of Swifties was angry about that. However, the popstar has endorsed Harris while Brittany hasn’t publicly endorsed Trump.

Irrespective of their political theories, Patrick Mahomes can’t ignore Travis Kelce on the gridiron. They both know the importance of winning. And wouldn’t let such things come in the way of a 3-peat.
