Patrick Mahomes reveals what Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce did immediately after recording New Heights show
By ISABEL BALDWIN,
Patrick Mahomes is a true Swiftie. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is just as excited as the rest of the world for Taylor Swift's debut appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason's New Heights podcast.
The pop sensation is set to make her long-awaited guest appearance on the hit show in a special episode Wednesday night to unveil her 12th studio album: The Life of a Showgirl.
And while Mahomes, Travis's Kansas City teammate and close friend, is eagerly awaiting the release, he admitted that he got a little heads-up.
The three-time Super Bowl winner revealed that he was the NFL's power couple's immediate port of call after wrapping up the recording. Or rather, his wife was.
'It surprised me too,' he said when asked about the special episode. 'I mean I knew before y'all did just because they called me after the podcast was done.'
'They didn't call me, they called Brittany. I was in the back of the FaceTime,' he added, hilariously self-correcting.

The Mahomeses have struck up a close bond with Travis and Taylor since the pop sensation began dating the tight end two years ago. The two couples have frequently spent time during the offseason together and even dined out in New Orleans before February's Super Bowl.
'I'm obviously super excited,' Mahomes continued. 'Just knowing Taylor and seeing the process from just a little bit closer of how she makes the albums, it's going to be amazing because of how much work she puts into it.
'What better place to announce it than New Heights podcast, where I feel like she can be herself and showcase who she is. I think people are going to be really excited to watch it tonight. I haven't seen it yet, just little clips of it. But I'll be tuning in tonight just like everybody else. I'll be able to have something to watch on this night off that I have here.'
The signal caller already considered Travis to be a close friend, however his wife Brittany warmly welcomed the singer into the NFL world with open arms.
Throughout Taylor's first season as a Chiefs WAG, the duo were frequently spotted cheering on their NFL beaus from a luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium, even preparing a special handshake to celebrate touchdowns.
However, there was speculation that their political differences may have triggered a rift between the close friends last summer.
Brittany sparked a meltdown when she was spotted liking a social media post endorsing Donald Trump ahead of the presidential election. Taylor, meanwhile, made her own stance clear when she shared a statement on Instagram publicly endorsing Trump's rival for the White House, Kamala Harris.

The two WAGs were not seen together as games as frequently last season, sparking speculation that they had drifted apart. However, that doesn't appear to be true with the two couples seemingly as close as ever.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared Mahomes's enthusiasm as he gushed over Travis and Taylor's romance.
'Listen, I'm like really old. My grandkids will be all over it,' the 67-year-old told reported Wednesday when asked if he'll be tuning into the podcast.
'I'm happy for them,' he added of the A-List couple. 'Both of them care about each and what a plus that is. The older you get, you want these guys to have someone they can settle down with. I think it's a neat deal for both of them.'
