Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are a package deal. So, when Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end began dating, it was clear that the singer was going to become close with the quarterback.

And that's exactly what happened.

Plus, Swift has also become close with Mahomes' wife, Brittany.

So, ahead of Super Bowl LIX, which will be the tenth game the singer has attended this season, Mahomes was asked about Swift's impact. And he didn't hold back.

"I think Taylor being at all the games, it's been awesome. It's been awesome to showcase her bringing light to the sport I love and getting little girls like my daughter interested in watching the game," Mahomes told reporters on Monday night. "Now I think I just know Taylor better now and I feel like I've built a great friendship with her. And my wife and Taylor have built a friendship as well. So, it's just cool to see how football can bring people together from every aspect of life. And I think that's kind of a metaphor for the rest of life as well."

The NFL's viewership grew exponentially when the love story between Swift and Kelce began. Even Mahomes is appreciative of her impact and he let the world know.

Travis Kelce refuses to give anything away about the release date of Reputation (Taylor's Version)

There will be no explanation, there will just be reputation.

Fans are (no so) patiently waiting for Taylor Swift to release Reputation (Taylor's Version) and are looking for hints everywhere, hoping to get at least a little clue as to when it will be available.

And that even includes asking Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

"Do you know when Reputation (Taylor's Version) is coming out," one reporter directly asked Kelce.

But, he knew better than to give anything away.

"I can neither confirm not deny this," he replied.
