"It's cool that she's embraced Brittany, and they've built a friendship as well," he said. "So for me, it's Travis, man, and he's lucky enough to be with a great girl, and a great woman, and it's been cool to interact with her."

Mahomes posted a photo on her Instagram stories from their stadium suite showing a cookie decorated with the words "dads, Brads and Chads," referencing a quip Swift made in her Time Person of the Year interview about how often she is shown on football broadcasts.
"There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I'm being shown 17 times or once," she said. "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."
