Patrick Mahomes’ dad wants to enjoy the Kansas City Chiefs’ upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens in peace.
Though Pat Mahomes Sr. had only positive things to say about Taylor Swift in a recent interview, he admitted he’d prefer to sit in a separate suite to watch his quarterback son, 28, and the rest of the Chiefs compete in Sunday’s AFC Championship matchup.

When asked during the “Evan & Tiki” WFAN Sports Radio show Thursday if plans to sit with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s loved ones — including his pop star girlfriend and his brother, Jason Kelce — Pat replied somewhat reluctantly, “I hope not.”
“No, I don’t think so. No, Travis normally has his own thing, and Patrick has his own deal, too,” he went on. “But I imagine if Taylor wants her own suite, I think she’s got enough money to get the one she wants.”
The former MLB star, 53, clarified that he was not in the same suite as Swift, Jason and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, at last weekend’s victorious game against the Buffalo Bills, during which the Philadelphia Eagles player ripped off his shirt, jumped into the crowd below him and roared in celebration.
“I was actually two booths down,” Pat explained, making sure to note that he did go over to their suite and “hung out with them a little bit after the game, after [the Chiefs] had won.”
“Those are some fun guys,” he shared with a laugh. “If you think Jason’s wild, you ought to see Travis.”
Pat said he’s known Jason, 36, “for quite some time,” as Travis, 34, is “like another son” to him.
He went on to reveal that he and his family have sat with “very nice,” “genuine” and “down-to-earth” Swift, also 34, at prior games.
“I thought somebody that famous — you never know how that’s gonna go,” he admitted.
“So the first time I met her, I walked up to her to introduce myself, and she said, ‘Yeah, I know who you are. I watched the ‘Quarterback’ series. I know you’re [Patrick’s] dad.’”
Pat said the singer then “thanked” him for “letting her be in the suite that day.”
“And I was like, ‘Well, that ain’t my suite; that’s Patrick and [his wife] Brittany [Mahomes]’ suite. So if you wanna thank anybody, you should thank them,’” he recalled replying, noting that the Grammy winner also “took a couple pictures with [his] wife and with [his] daughter” that day.
