Amid inquiries about Swift’s influence since her relationship with Kelce began, Mahomes provided a revealing response.
I think the biggest thing that I noticed during the season was just that the kids that were becoming more and more fans. You would see more younger girls that were fans of the Chiefs and wanted to really embrace football, and I thought that was cool to see… It definitely expanded our fan base, but I think it was all for the better and I’m glad to be a part of it.
All-Pro Chris Jones and head coach Andy Reid also expressed admiration for Swift and the influx of fans she brought to the team. Despite any negative stereotypes associated with “Swifties,” it is evident that the Chiefs appreciate the movement Swift initiated for the franchise.
