Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown some shade at teammate and good friend Travis Kelce by suggesting that Taylor Swift is in charge of their relationship.

Travis and Taylor have been dating for around a year now, and she obviously wields some influence. However, a curious comment from the QB implied he believes she has control over the tight end’s appearance, more so his hair.

Speaking as a guest on SiriusXM NFL Radio this week, Mahomes claimed Swift has gotten Kelce to grow his hair out, something he has been trying to get him to do for a while.

“I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it,” he joked (H/T Billboard).

Kelce has been keeping his hair short for some time. He rocked a fade last season, which fans branded the “Travis Kelce” haircut, although it has been around forever. But he’s growing his hair out this summer and might attract some questions based on what his teammate said.

Of course, he’s unlikely to confirm that Swift had anything to do with it as he’s been mostly mum when it comes to her.

“You wanna keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to, like, hide anything,” he said during a recent appearance on ‘Bussin’ With the Boys.’ “That’s my girl. You know what I mean? That’s my lady, so it’s, like, I’m proud of that. I’m not sitting here trying to juggle, like, ‘How can I keep this under wraps. You just don’t want to let everybody into your personal life and be able to comment on it knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.”

We’ll just have to take Mahomes’ word for it.
