Patrick Mahomes expressed his desire to create a unique handshake with teammate Travis Kelce, inspired by the viral handshakes of Brittany Mahomes (formerly Matthews) and Taylor Swift. During a radio interview with Kansas City's KCSP (610 AM) on Thursday, October 26, the 28-year-old shared his intention to speak with Travis about the matter. Patrick acknowledged that they were currently behind in this aspect and stated they would need to brainstorm and devise an impressive handshake to surpass the others.
Radio host Carrington Harrison expressed his desire to witness the new handshake between Kelce and the quarterback next time the former scores a touchdown. As the Chiefs prepare to face the Broncos on Sunday, October 29th in Denver, there is a possibility that they might unveil their handshake during the game. Patrick assured that they will work on it and have it ready.
Patrick expressed his desire for a choreographed routine just days after Brittany and Swift showcased theirs at the Kansas City Chiefs game on October 22. During the second quarter, following a touchdown by the Chiefs, Swift and Brittany enthusiastically cheered on their team at Arrowhead Stadium, exchanging high-fives and performing a side bump in their dynamic gesture.
Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes have developed a close bond, according to an exclusive source who informed We earlier this month. As the season progressed, Brittany has been present at Chiefs games, and with her increasing attendance, her friendship with Swift has grown considerably. Swift has already attended four matches and can be seen engaging in conversations and sharing laughter with Brittany while enjoying the Chiefs' suite.
According to the insider, Brittany is excited about developing a sincere friendship with Taylor. They have spent time together on several occasions and have become quite close in a short span. Brittany finds Taylor to be very kind and grounded, and they share a strong bond. Additionally, the source mentioned that Patrick and Kelce being "best friends" adds to the positive dynamics between Swift and Brittany, as they enjoy supporting their partners together.
Swift and Brittany recently started their friendship, whereas Patrick and Kelce have been close for years. During the first game that Swift attended at Arrowhead Stadium, Patrick was aware that Kelce wanted to perform well on the field to impress the Grammy winner.
"I understood that I had to pass the ball to Trav," Patrick disclosed to Erin Andrews after the September game. "He improvises his own route and I throw the ball to him. I believe he desired to score a touchdown just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to."
