“He’s the most famous person in the world, and he’s really interested in football,” Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said when he was interviewed on August 29 NFL on NBC. “He asked a lot of good questions. He made plays.”
Mahomes, 28, added that he and his teammates “may have to implement one” of Swift’s plays when the NFL season begins on Thursday, Sept. 5.

When I got into the first game, we were a couple,” Swift recalled in 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile. “I think some people saw our first date in the game? We wouldn’t be psychotic enough to start our first date.
He added, “If you say that the relationship is public, it means that I will see him doing what he loves, we show each other, there are other people and don’t care. On the contrary, you have to make an extreme effort to make sure that no one knows if you see others. And we are just proud of each other.
