It might have been Taylor Swift's "rookie season" in the NFL, as Jason and Travis Kelce joked in their podcast, but she went all the way.

Swift and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs' victory at the Super Bowl Feb. 11, the teams' second year in a row. They watched the nail-biter side-by-side (at one point, Swift literally bit her nails).

After the game at Allegiant Stadium, Swift and Mahomes were seen going to Wynn Las Vegas accompanied by Travis Kelce, Swift's boyfriend, and Patrick Mahomes.

The two posed for a picture together at the nightclub. Both were all smiles. Swift was also captured dancing with Travis Kelce to her own music: "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me."

Back in November 2023, Brittany Mahomes made her friendship with Swift Instagram official when she posted a photo of herself posing with Swift, Bell and Paige Buechele, who's the wife of former Chiefs backup quarterback, Shane Buechele.

The photo came two days after the trio were spotted leaving Swift's Tribeca apartment, the same day the Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins in the NFL's first-ever match in Germany.

Between Instagram posts and nights out on both coasts, a friendship appears to be blossoming between Swift and the mom of two. Here's what to know.

September 24, 2023: Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift are first spotted together

Swift first sent Chiefs and NFL fans into a frenzy when she attended the Chiefs’ win over the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24.

Ahead of Kansas City’s next game, an eventual win over the Jets at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Swift and Brittany Mahomes were spotted out to dinner together in New York City as they got acquainted.

Brittany Mahomes has been absorbed into a group of Swift’s friends that also includes Selena Gomez, Zoe Kravitz, Lively, Turner, the Haim sisters and producer Jack Antonoff, as further meetups demonstrate.

Oct. 1, 2023: Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift are first seen at a game together

The duo were first spotted at a game together when the Chiefs played against the New York Jets on Oct. 1. In addition to Brittany Mahomes, Swift was also seen with Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner and Hugh Jackman that night.

During the Chiefs 19-8 victory against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium Oct. 12, the “Blank Space” singer and Brittany Mahomes also popped up on the broadcast celebrating together.

They were seen hugging during the first half and later celebrating a touchdown. Kelce also had a big game, with Patrick Mahomes finding him for nine catches for 124 yards in the victory.

Oct. 22, 2023: They debuted a handshake

The two were seen celebrating in style after a touchdown during the Kansas City Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 22 as they cheered on Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs at large.

Following a 46-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the second quarter, Swift and the wife of the quarterback broke out a new handshake in a scene shown on the broadcast.

They started with two slaps with the front of their right hands, followed by two slaps with the back of their hands, and then Swift pulled Brittany Mahomes toward her for a finishing move.

A new BFF handshake was officially born, although it looked like the two had put in some practice beforehand so they could nail it when it came time during the game.

Swift and Brittany Mahomes were also seen cheering together at other parts of the win over the Chargers. Brittany Mahomes was often holding one of her two children with Patrick Mahomes, daughter Sterling, 2, and 11-month-old son, Bronze.

And possibly wore matching jewelry

Brittany Mahomes and Swift appear to have ties that go beyond that gesture. TikToker and gemstone wholesaler Julia Hackman Chafé observed that Swift and Brittany Mahomes appeared to be wearing matching jewelry at the game.

Chafé identified Swift wearing the necklace from Cartier's Juste un Clou collection. Brittany Mahomes had a bracelet from the same collection. Both the necklace and bracelet appear to be shaped like a nail, the Juste un Clou's signature look.

In addition to the Cartier piece, the pop megastar added another new wrinkle on Oct. 22 by wearing one of her signature friendship bracelets that featured a heart and the number 87, which is Kelce’s jersey number.

Jan. 6, 2024: Swift, Brittany Mahomes and Bell grab dinner together in LA

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes spent the night before the singer’s expected appearance at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles.

Multiple Swiftie update accounts shared photos on X, formerly known as Twitter, of the pop icon and Brittany Mahomes, married to Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, leaving a restaurant together Jan. 6. Lyndsay Bell, who is the wife of Chiefs tight end Blake Bell, also joined them.

In the pictures, Swift stuns in a black mini dress and over-the-knee boots. Brittany Mahomes wore a black blouse, gray mini skirt and knee-high boots and Bell braved the chilly LA night in a white turtleneck sweater dress, leather jacket and black boots.

Their night out came ahead of the Golden Globe Awards and the Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Jan. 7.

Variety has predicted that the “Karma” singer could walk away with the new honor, which was added to the ceremony this year to recognize a movie with “extensive global audience support.”

Swift missed the Chiefs-Chargers game, which kicked off at 4:25 p.m. ET. Patrick Mahomes and Kelce did not take the field during the game and instead rested ahead of their playoff run.
