Patrick Mahomes expressed that Travis Kelce remains the same grounded friend despite recent attention and fame. Mahomes shared with reporters on Wednesday that Kelce has not let success affect his down-to-earth demeanor.
“Travis has always been Travis,” stated the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. He emphasized that Kelce continues to treat everyone as if they are his best friend, maintaining the same approach in both the stadium and locker room, regardless of any spotlight or achievements.
Despite Kelce’s high-profile endeavors, including a romance with popstar Taylor Swift, hosting Saturday Night Live in March 2023, and a cameo appearance in October, Mahomes highlighted that Kelce has remained authentic throughout. Mahomes expressed his joy for Kelce, particularly during the SNL hosting experience, calling it a dream come true for his teammate.

Mahomes revealed that Kelce has been a longtime fan of the SNL sketches, often quoting them in the locker room for years. The quarterback playfully mentioned how Kelce would reference sketches from before Mahomes was even born, teasing him about the age difference.
Looking ahead, Mahomes suggested the possibility of Kelce exploring more of such opportunities after his football career concludes. Previously praising Taylor Swift and her integration into the Chiefs Kingdom, Mahomes noted that she is now considered part of the team, emphasizing her professionalism and dedication in her field.
As the Chiefs gear up for the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens, scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on CBS, Mahomes, Kelce, and the team are focused on their pursuit of success on the football field.
