Kansas City Chiefs Latest News: Patrick Mahomes Respond To Travis Kelce, after His Girlfriend…

After referring to Travis Kelce as “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend” on social media, the Dallas Mavericks are receiving blowback.

The 34-year-old football player watched the Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game on Sunday from courtside at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Patrick Mahomes, a colleague on the Kansas City Chiefs, and his spouse Brittany Mahomes accompanied him.

A video of the two was posted by the official Dallas Mavericks X account (dallasmavericks).

In the video, Kelce can be heard being jeered by the audience. He seems taken aback by the outcry and made a lighthearted face. But when Texas native and quarterback for the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, stood up to wave, the crowd cheered.

The Dallas Mavericks social media staff commented the video, tagged Taylor Swift’s official X account, and said, “Our guy Pat and taylorswift13’s boyfriend in the house!”

Last summer, Kelce and the pop sensation started dating. In September, Swift revealed their connection to the world when she attended Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to see the Chiefs play the Chicago Bears.

Despite the post’s probably good intentions, X users couldn’t agree. Some thought the jibe from the Mavericks “did [Kelce] dirty”.

“To call him Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is absurd,” Saddiq said.

@classic_pl wrote, “Disrespectful to the best [tight end] in the nfl.”

Is this how you treat visitors and other sportsmen with disrespect? Very uncool,” said @ChoppedCheezeNY.

“Classless,” LilShadow said.

“Respectfully, his name is Travis Kelce and he is a back to back Super Bowl Champion and@newheightshow co-host,” Melissa Hill remarked. “Yours truly, a Swiftie and [Mavericks Fan for Life].”

Others, meanwhile, thought the message was humorous; Yvonne Petite said, “Love it!!”

“Damn, that’s Taylor Swift’s boyfriend,”  accompanied by a laughing emoji.

“The caption is the best,” allyxx concurred.
