Patrick and Brittany Mahomes react to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement with heartfelt tribute

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes led the congratulations after the bombshell news that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his pop star girlfriend set the internet ablaze on Tuesday when they announced they are getting married.

The couple have built a close friendship with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes over the last couple of years.

And minutes after the stunning announcement on social media, Kelce’s Chiefs teammate shared Swift’s post alongside three love hearts.

His wife, Brittany, posted her own tribute. ‘Two of the most genuine people meet and fall in love,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘Just so happy for these two.’

Swift shared an selection of pictures showing Kelce down on one knee in an Instagram post that also included her song ‘So High School’, which she wrote about the Kansas City Chiefs great.

The couple first went public with their relationship back in September 2023, when the singer appeared at Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna.

Since that day, nearly three years ago, their romance has captivated the world.

Kelce, Swift and the Mahomes regularly hang out away from football. They enjoyed a day at the US Open this time last year. Ahead of the 2024 season, meanwhile, it emerged that another of their double dates was among Kelce’s favorite moments of the summer.

It came in Amsterdam back in July 2024, shortly before the Chiefs returned to training camp. The Mahomes had joined Kelce in a private suite for Swift’s show in the Netherlands on July 6.

We were just having fun and enjoying a dinner just like anyone else would. That’s what makes it so great,’ said Mahomes, who is opening a Kansas City steakhouse with Kelce.

‘We don’t make it more than what it is – it’s just friendship, fellowship and enjoying everyone’s success.’

On Tuesday, Swift shared an selection of pictures showing Kelce down on one knee. Her Instagram post also included her song ‘So High School’, which she wrote about the Kansas City Chiefs great. ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,’ the pop sensation wrote.

His teammate Mike Danna spoke to the media shortly after Tuesday’s announcement. ‘Man, it’s incredible, great for them,’ the defensive end said.

‘Anytime you find that joy, happiness, it’s a beautiful thing. I just got told 30 seconds ago,’ he added with a laugh. ‘That’s a beautiful thing to see.’

The couple first went public with their relationship back in September 2023, when the singer appeared at a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna.

Since that day, nearly three years ago, their romance has captivated the world. Swift has become a regular in the stands, supporting Kelce’s run to three straight Super Bowls, while the football star joined her on her wildly successful Eras tour.

He even appeared on stage during one of her shows in London.

The couple recently gave their first joint interview – of sorts – when Swift appeared on the Kelce brothers’ hit podcast, ‘New Heights’.

The episode set a Guinness World Record for the most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube. It drew a total of 1.3million viewers on August 13. The video has now amassed more than 20m.

The new record was announced by the Guinness World Record website on Tuesday – 13 days after the episode with Swift premiered.
