Patrick Mahomes Sr. is making headlines more than usual now that he has rubbed elbows with Taylor Swift.
The former major leaguer, who is the father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recently offered his unfiltered thoughts on Swift during an appearance on WFAN’s “Evan & Tiki.”
“I’ve been in the booth with Taylor before,” Mahomes said. “She was very nice and genuine and everything.”
Though Pat Mahomes Sr. had mostly positive things to say about Taylor Swift, he also admitted he’d prefer to sit in a separate suite to watch his quarterback son and the rest of the Chiefs compete in Sunday’s AFC Championship matchup.
When asked if he plans to sit with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s loved ones, he replied, “I hope not.”
“No, I don’t think so. No, Travis normally has his own thing, and Patrick has his own deal, too,” he went on. “But I imagine if Taylor wants her own suite, I think she’s got enough money to get the one she wants.”
The former MLB star also made it clear that he was not in the same suite as Swift, Jason, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, at last weekend’s victorious game against the Buffalo Bills, during which the Philadelphia Eagles player ripped off his shirt, jumped out and proceeded to give Bills fans a show.

“I was actually two booths down,” Pat explained, making sure to note that he did go over to their suite and “hung out with them a little bit after the game, after [the Chiefs] had won.”
“Those are some fun guys,” he shared with a laugh. “If you think Jason’s wild, you ought to see Travis.”
Pat continued:
“So the first time I met her, I walked up to her to introduce myself, and she said, ‘Yeah, I know who you are. I watched the ‘Quarterback’ series. I know you’re [Patrick’s] dad.’”
Pat said the singer then “thanked” him for “letting her be in the suite that day.”
“And I was like, ‘Well, that ain’t my suite; that’s Patrick and [his wife] Brittany [Mahomes]’ suite. So if you wanna thank anybody, you should thank them,’” he recalled replying, noting that the Grammy winner also “took a couple pictures with [his] wife and with [his] daughter” that day.
The AFC Championship game is around the corner, and the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens will host the Kansas City Chiefs to see who will advance to the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
The Chiefs’ offense was during the regular season but seems to have found their stride. The Ravens’ defense is also stingy so something will have to give in this matchup at M&T Bank Stadium.
