Patrick Mahomes Seeks Credit for Playing Matchmaker in Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift’s Whirlwind Romance

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been the center of attention since they began dating last year. Swift fueled the rumors by frequently attending Kansas City Chiefs’ games. She celebrated with Kelce during the AFC Championship win against the Baltimore Ravens and the Super Bowl LVIII victory against the San Francisco 49ers. The story of how they got together is quite charming. 

But there’s more to this story. Patrick Mahomes, the star QB of the Chiefs, recently claimed some credit for bringing the couple together. During an appearance on Pat McAfee’s show, Mahomes shared how he played a part in their love story.

“We enjoy it. It’s been a fun run,“ Mahomes said. “I like to take some of the credit. I was the one who invited Travis to the first Taylor concert when the friendship bracelet was. It was. He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker. I had some input in there as well. I was like, dude, just go for it. Just go for it. And you know, Travis, man, he does it, and he’s a great dude. And I’m glad that it’s all worked out for the best,” said the QB. 

Mahomes’ comments have surely added another playful twist to the Kelce-Swift love story. Previously Patrick also talked about their relationship at the Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night event at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The 28-year-old stated, “We’ve had a couple dinners. It’s been awesome to see their relationship grow. Taylor is a great person.”

However, despite the couple’s chemistry, Travis Kelce and Swift are not planning to get engaged anytime soon. Several sources have confirmed to Us Weekly that the tight end has no immediate plans to propose to the pop star.

Travis to propose to Taylor?

“Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon. It’s not even on his radar. Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration,” said an insider. Although Kelce, 34, cares deeply about the pop star, getting engaged is a big step and it’s just too soon for the couple. “He’s just not there yet,” the source added.

Their relationship has been a topic of much discussion after their romantic vacation to Lake Como amidst Swift’s European Eras Tour dates. This trip and their public appearances since they began dating in September 2023 have fueled rumors of a proposal and engagement. However, it appears that these speculations are premature. Kelce’s careful consideration towards marriage and the couple’s focus on enjoying their current relationship stage speaks volumes about their mature approach to love.
