- NFL. Shedeur Sanders' 'fireworks' don't worry Dillon Gabriel as he seems to have an edge on Browns
- NFL. Patrick Mahomes pulls Tom Brady away from Olympic glory even though his coming out of retirement could be real
Taylor Swift made headlines across the globe on Friday by announcing that she now owns the rights to all of her music, a historic moment in her career that ends years of public struggle over her master recordings.
Known for her meticulous control over her brand and creative work, Swift shared the announcement via her website, stating, "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me."
The declaration marks the culmination of a battle that began in 2019, when Swift revealed that her former label, Big Machine Records, had sold her original master recordings to a private equity firm.
In response, Swift embarked on a high-profile mission to re-record her albums, a process that fans dubbed "Taylor's Version."
These re-recordings not only allowed her to regain control of her music, but also reignited interest in her discography, with many of the re-released versions outperforming the originals on streaming platforms and charts.
Among those celebrating Swift's success was Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end and Swift's boyfriend, who quietly liked her Instagram post about the news.
But it was Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs' star quarterback, who made an even more unexpected move - he reposted a tweet from "Pop Base" on X (formerly Twitter) highlighting Swift's music ownership announcement.
A surprising gesture from the Chiefs' MVP
For Mahomes, this sort of post was a departure from the norm. While he frequently shares football highlights and promotional content, reposting pop culture news - especially about Swift - is rare.
Yet, his repost suggests a strong show of not just for Swift, but also for the relationship that has made her a fixture in the Chiefs' world over the past year.
Since Swift's romance with Kelce became public, she has frequently been spotted at Arrowhead Stadium cheering from VIP boxes alongside the Mahomes family.
This integration of pop culture and sports has added a unique spotlight to the Chiefs, making them one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL from both an athletic and entertainment perspective.
Mahomes' repost of Swift's announcement wasn't just a casual endorsement - it subtly acknowledged her influence within the Chiefs' orbit and recognized the importance of her fight for artistic autonomy.
It's a gesture that underscores the evolving dynamics of celebrity influence in the NFL, where relationships and off-field now draw just as much attention as touchdowns and trophies.
Whether Swift will be a regular presence in the 2025 NFL season remains to be seen, but her connection to Kelce - and now Mahomes - ensures that her name will continue to echo through Chiefs Kingdom.
For Swift, this latest win is more than a personal triumph - it's a moment of empowerment cheered on by fans and football stars alike.
