Patrick Mahomes Casually Let It Slip That Taylor Swift's Been Filming a Music Video In Her Downtime

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People, and naturally, he was asked about Taylor Swift during his interview...which led to him complimenting Tay *and* casually letting it slip that she's been working on a new music video in her downtime. 👀

Ahem:

“I’ve met a lot of famous people now in my life...Taylor’s probably the most down-to-earth person that’s been on that stage for that long,” Patrick said. “She’s never not working…Even when she’s taking her downtime, she’s working on something. Shooting a music video or singing a song or writing a song. You can see it by how she talks. Even when she’s talking about football, when she’s learning it, you can see her business mind putting it together. It’s almost like she’s trying to become a coach. ‘Why can’t you try this, this, and this?’ She’s asking the right questions.”

Innnnnteresting! I mean, the musician is moments away from dropping The Tortured Poets Department, so we're thrilled to know she might be blessing us with a video!

Anyway, Patrick also noted during his convo that the Chiefs have become a “full global worldwide team” and gushed that it's all thanks to “Taylor’s fanbase.”

The footballer then shut down claims that the Chiefs were distracted by the attention (I mean...they literally won the Super Bowl lol) and said, “We just embraced it…We like having that visibility. At the end of the day, football has always been this bruising sport. We want to make it fun, where kids grow up and play football and show their personality and be who they are. This year really magnified that.”
