Taylor Swift is a girls’ girl and has many famous friends to prove it — and once she began seeing Travis Kelce, her inner circle expanded to include NFL wives and girlfriends (WAGs).
Swift was first linked to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in September 2023 after Kelce previously revealed he tried to give his number to the singer at her Kansas City Eras Tour stop that summer. The “Exile” singer was spotted at four Chiefs games between September and October 2023, each time wearing something red to support Kelce and his team.
Along the way, the Grammy winner was introduced to Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, who has become one of her game day buddies.
“Brittany is thrilled to be building a genuine friendship with Taylor. They’ve hung out a couple of times and have grown fairly close in a short period of time,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2023. “Brittany thinks Taylor is so sweet, and down to earth, and they get along really great.”

Brittany Mahomes
Brittany and her NFL quarterback husband, Patrick, have been “huge fans” of Swift for a while, attending the singer’s Kansas City Eras Tour stop in July 2023, a source exclusively told Us in October 2023.
Brittany was first seen with Swift in September 2023 during a girls’ dinner in New York City when the team was in town to play the New York Jets. They have since been spotted cheering together from the organization’s suite.
“The fact that Patrick and Travis are best friends makes things even better,” the insider told Us at the time. “They’re having a blast and love cheering on their men together.” Brittany, for her part, married Patrick in March 2022. The couple share daughter Sterling and son Bronze.

Hailee Steinfeld
Steinfeld’s friendship with Swift dates back to before they were both dating NFL players. The Pitch Perfect 3 actress was first linked to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in May 2023 and made her first appearance at one of his games in October of that year when the Bills played in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
She and Swift, however, have been pals for more than a decade. In October 2013, Steinfeld called the musician “amazing,” sharing with Ellen DeGeneres, “We hang out and bake and talk about boys and stuff. And we watch hours of cat videos on YouTube.” Two years later, Steinfeld appeared in Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video. Steinfeld told People in September 2023 that she is “literally chasing the dates of [Swift’s] Eras Tour trying to figure out when [she] can make it.”

Buchele is the wife of former Chiefs backup quarterback Shane Buechele, who signed a contract with the Bills in September 2023. Paige, for her part, is a realtor and former Miss Dallas USA.
Paige and Shane tied the knot in March 2023. Paige was spotted alongside Brittany and a few other WAGs leaving Swift’s New York City apartment in November 2023 after reportedly watching the Chiefs play the Miami Dolphins from the singer’s pad. According to photos obtained by TMZ, Paige exited Swift’s residence wearing a “Game Day” sweatshirt after the team beat Miami overseas in Germany. “Bye weekend, but for the girls 🖤,” Paige captioned a photo from the Big Apple with Brittany and pal Lyndsay Bell.

Miranda Hogue
Hogue is not an NFL WAG, but her husband, Summitt Hogue, did play football alongside Patrick at Texas Tech. The couple share two children, daughters Falynn and Knightley. Miranda has also been a part of Brittany’s inner circle for years — and a fixture at the Chiefs’ games in support of her husband — which is how she met Swift. (Miranda was a bridesmaid in the Mahomes’ 2022 wedding.)
Miranda attended Swift’s September 2023 girls’ dinner ahead of the Chiefs’ NYC game against the Jets. She later returned to the Big Apple in November 2023 to go with Brittany to Swift’s house and watch the team’s Germany game.
