While the NFL world was anticipating roster cutdowns, a different story emerged -- Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor Swift and she said yes! With the engagement officially announced by Swift on her Instagram, people have naturally been waiting to hear from those closest to the couple for their thoughts.
Not long after Swift posted the news, Brittany Mahomes shared her heartfelt thoughts and it took her husband a little longer to find the right words... or emojis. Patrick Mahomes did eventually share what he had to say about his tight end's engagement, sharing the couple's announcement on his Instagram story with three red heart emojis.
When in doubt of what to say when a buddy gets engaged to the biggest pop star on the planet, post a bunch of heart emojis and call it good! No, in all seriousness, this was the perfect response from the Chiefs franchise quarterback. He and his wife have become close with Kelce and Swift, attendin the US Open together and going on vacation together as well. It makes sense to see Mahomes share a simple but elegant response for his tight end.
Mahomes won't be the last Chiefs player to share his thoughts on Kelce's engagement but he's the most notable. His wife had fun with Swift in the suites during games over the past several seasons while Mahomes and Kelce had fun on the field, winning a Super Bowl in the first year of Kelce's and Swift's relationship.
It's also just really funny that Swift chose to announce the news on the same day as roster cuts, putting stressed out NFL writers in a potentially an even more stressful situation. Now when will we get to hear what Andy Reid has to say on the matter?
