Taylor Swift has been stirring up quite a buzz in the NFL community, to put it mildly. The Grammy-winning artist has been spotted at several Kansas City Chiefs games, cheering on the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce.
But it’s not just the yet-to-be-officially-confirmed romance between Kelce and Swift that that has fans talking. Last night, as she attended the Chiefs game against the Denver Broncos, she was seen getting buddy-buddy with with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, per TMZ. Her closeness not only with Kelce’s mom but with significant others of NFL players has everyone speculating that she’s well on her way to earning an unexpected title – that of an NFL WAG.
The term “WAGs” might be familiar to some, but for those who are just joining the realm of sports as a Swiftie, it stands for “Wives and Girlfriends,” a term that has been around for a while but really entered the zeitgeist in the UK during the 2006 World Cup to denote the partners of the England football team. The term made its way across the pond and is now frequently used within the NFL community and other professional sports.
Swift’s relationship with Kelce has been the subject of much speculation, as the two have made several public appearances together. The two first made headlines when Swift watched the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears at the end of September. Adding fuel to the fire, Kelce’s mother, Donna, was seen sporting Taylor Swift-inspired friendship bracelets at the game, hinting at a close bond between the pop star and the Kelce family.
The WAGs are known for their influence both on and off the field. They often leverage their platforms for charitable causes, start businesses, and support their partners’ careers. For example, Kylie Kielce, the wife of Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, is an event consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles Autism Foundation. If Swift does become an official NFL WAG, she would be joining a group of women known for their impact beyond the glitz and glamour of cheering on their men from box seats.
