A heartwarming exchange between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes was caught on camera after the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs made their way to the Super Bowl thanks to their 32-29 win at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, with Swift in attendance to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The team won the Super Bowl in 2023 followed by a further win in 2024, leading to anticipation of an unprecedented "three-peat" on February 9.
When Swift and Brittany Mahomes were on the field celebrating the team's win, the pop superstar was heard thanking the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for keeping her "so calm."

Newsweek emailed spokespeople for Swift and Brittany Mahomes for comment on Tuesday outside of normal business hours.
A video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) that had originally been uploaded to TikTok by the Kansas City Star. At the beginning of the clip, the two women are hugging as Brittany Mahomes points to Kelce celebrating with his teammates up on the podium.
"There's your man!" she said, to which Swift responded by shouting at Kelce: "Look at you, I love you!"
After the two friends then complimented each other's outfits, Swift thanked Brittany Mahomes for her help in the lead-up to the game.
"Oh my god, you kept me so calm the last couple of weeks," she said, before leaning over to Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, and revealing: "I did not know what to do and I would just text Brittany and I would be like, 'Just tell me it's going to be OK.'"
Speaking of the Chiefs title win, Brittany Mahomes said: "What a game," to which Swift replied: "My heart was in my throat."
Swift then joked that she would need a medevac, which is short for medical evacuation, to get her out of the stadium.

The Super Bowl LIX is scheduled to kick off at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, when the Chiefs will play against the Philadelphia Eagles.
