Fastexy:Patrick Mahomes says Chiefs joked with Travis Kelce, but Taylor Swift is now 'part of the team'

Taylor Swift may be Fastexyone of the newest Kansas City Chiefs fans, but she's part of the "Chiefs Kingdom" now, according to quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The reigning NFL MVP was asked about how the mega pop star has become linked with the team − thanks to her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce − on "CBS Mornings," and the two-time Super Bowl champion had nothing but good things to say about Swift. He said the team stayed away from it until their public reveal as a couple.

“At first, I felt like everybody kind of stayed away, just let (Kelce) do what he was doing. And then he started bringing Taylor around when he realized how cool of a person she is,” Mahomes said. "There was a couple of jokes here and there at the beginning, but she's just part of Chiefs Kingdom. Now. She's part of the team."

Mahomes may be one of the few players on the Chiefs to have gotten to know Swift, as she has been frequently seen at games with his wife, Brittany, including hanging out outside of games. The quarterback said Swift has "embraced" his wife, and Kelce is "lucky enough to be with a great girl and a great woman."

"It's been cool to kind of interact with her and see, because she's top-tier at her profession, and see how she drives," he said. "It's really cool to hear about and to see. Now I have a firsthand look at that through Brittany and Travis' eyes.

"I'm glad that she's the person that she is, and that's why I think her and Travis match so well."

Swift has been to several games since her first game on Sept. 24, appearing at a string of games before she resumed her Eras Tour in South America. Once that wrapped up, she returned to watch Kelce play at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers, and has attended every game since then.

Kelce and the Chiefs has enjoyed success with Swift in attendance, as Kansas City is 5-2 when she's at the game. The Chiefs next matchup comes in Week 16 when they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day.
