Patrick Mahomes recently revealed that Taylor Swift might be working on a music video.
In his interview as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People, the Chiefs quarterback was asked about Taylor Swift. Patrick met Taylor when she began dating his teammate and friend, Travis Kelce. Now, Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, is also close friends with Taylor.
“I’ve met a lot of famous people now in my life…Taylor’s probably the most down-to-earth person that’s been on that stage for that long,” Patrick said.
He added that she’s constantly in a business mindset — even when it comes to learning about football.
“She’s never not working … You can see it by how she talks. Even when she’s talking about football, when she’s learning it, you can see her business mind putting it together. It’s almost like she’s trying to become a coach,” he said. “‘Why can’t you try this, this, and this?’ She’s asking the right questions.”
Mahomes also credited Taylor for making the Chiefs go “from a nationwide team that was kind of global to a full global worldwide team,” which he viewed as a positive thing.
“That came from Taylor’s fanbase,” he said.
Many people fed into the narrative that the Chiefs were distracted by the global attention, but Mahomes put that theory to rest. (And considering they won the Super Bowl, I think it’s safe to say that the Chiefs are just fine.)
“We just embraced it,” he said of the worldwide attention they garnered. “We like having that visibility. At the end of the day, football has always been this bruising sport. We want to make it fun, where kids grow up and play football and show their personality and be who they are. This year really magnified that.”
It’s clear that Taylor, amid her hard work on her new album, has also had her fun this year — much of which is thanks to the Chief’s tight end.

With Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, set to release this Friday, many fans suspect Taylor might grace us with a music video. And Patrick is only further fueling these beliefs.
“Even when she’s taking her downtime, she’s working on something,” he said in his interview. “Shooting a music video or singing a song or writing a song.”
This is great news for Swifties, who are eagerly awaiting Taylor’s new work.
Her new album will be out this Friday, April 19.
