Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, had a sneak peek at the “New Heights” podcast featuring Taylor Swift.
“I knew before y’all did because they called me after the podcast was done. They didn’t call me, they called Brittany,” Mahomes told reporters Wednesday. “I was in the back of the facetime. I’m obviously super excited. Just knowing Taylor (Swift) and seeing the process from just a little bit closer of how she makes the albums. It’s gonna be amazing, (just) because of how much work she (Taylor Swift) puts into it. What better place to announce it than the New Heights podcast where I feel like she can be herself and showcase who she is, and I think people are going to be really excited to watch it tonight.
“I haven’t seen it yet, I have seen a little bit of the clips like everybody else, but I’ll be tuned in tonight at 7:00 (Eastern), so I’ll be able to have something to watch here on this night off that I have.”
While the Chiefs’ star quarterback plans to watch the podcast, Andy Reid does not. However, the Chiefs’ head coach predicted his grandkids would tune in.
“I’m like really old,” Reid said. “My grandkids will be all over it. But I’m happy for them (Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce). Both of them like each other, and what a plus that is. They care about each other, and I think that’s the most important thing. The older you get; you want these guys to have somebody they can settle down with and that whole deal. And so, I think it’s a neat deal for them – both of them.”
For the Swifties out there, Swift is expected to discuss her upcoming album during Wednesday’s podcast. The show begins, as Patrick said, at 7 p.m. ET.
