Patrick Mahomes may not have been on the New Heights Podcast when Taylor Swift unveiled her 12th album, Life of a Show Girl, but he still has insider knowledge on the release.
The two-time NFL MVP knew about the pop star’s groundbreaking news before the rest of the world, and here’s why…
While speaking to reporters at the Kansas City Chiefs training camp, the star quarterback revealed that Swift had Facetimed his wife, Brittany Mahomes, straight after the recording with Travis and Jason Kelce.
The call arrived before the podcast dropped, and with it sweeping global news that had Swifties buzzing.
Mahomes was grinning as he revealed all to camp reporters: “I knew before y’all did. They called me after the podcast was done – well, they called Brittany, but I was there!”
The 29-year-old, who’s already won three Super Bowls, admitted he didn’t know all the details from the juicy podcast.
However, he claimed he was excited to dial in: “What better place to announce it than the New Heights Podcast, where I feel like she can be herself and showcase who she is.”

The FaceTime call showcases the closeness between the two celebrity couples, with Travis Kelce and Swift growing friends with Patrick and Brittany since the world-famous relationship began in 2023.
Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift have been spotted together at several Chiefs games while joining together off the field at countless social gatherings.
Swift’s decision to break the global news of Life of a Showgirl on the Kelce brothers’ platform reinforces her comfort with their audience and platform.

The box-office Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and tight-end duo have been teammates since 2017 and standout performers in their trio of Super Bowl victories.
The pair’s on-field stats together are crazy!
Kelce has taken 686 catches for 8,126 yards and 56 touchdowns in 109 games with Mahomes in his career.
That over six catches and nearly 75 yards in every single game the pair have played together for one of the most dominant franchises of late.
