Patrick Mahomes stepped up to fil the void left by Taylor Swift on Saturday night as he sat next to his wife Brittany to cheer on Kansas City Current against Utah Royals.
Brittany and Patrick are joint owners of the NSWL team, who play at the CPKC Stadium in Kansas City – the first soccer venue purposely built for women in the world.
The Current shared a selfie of Brittany and Patrick together watching the game, wearing their team caps and jerseys to cheer them on to a 1-0 victory.
It comes after Brittany sat away from Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game on Thursday night as they cheered their respective partners on.
Mahomes and Swift sat together for several Chiefs games throughout last season when they cheered the team on to their second straight Super Bowl victory in as many seasons.

But Mahomes recently went public with her support for Donald Trump at the upcoming presidential election – a viewpoint that is seemingly at odds with what Swift has said in the past.
It was reported earlier on Saturday that Mahomes and Swift both wanted ‘different vibes’ while watching the Chiefs start the NFL season, where they beat Baltimore Ravens 27-20 at Arrowhead Stadium.
A source close to Mahomes was quoted as saying to The Sun: ‘They are very good friends and they were so excited to go to the game, but they had different plans as it happens sometimes.
‘Brittany is a family woman, and Taylor likes to enjoy the game sometimes like it’s a party. They felt like they were in a different vibe for the first game of the season. They did hang out for a bit before and after the game while waiting for Patrick and Travis.
‘But Brittany preferred for the first game of the season to be in a suite with family and the kids, in a bit more of a “low key” vibe. Taylor wanted more of a ‘party and drinks vibe’ for the game and enjoy it differently.
‘There are absolutely zero tensions between them, they love and respect each other a lot, they were just wanting a different kind of vibe for the first game of the season at home.’
Travis and Taylor, meanwhile, were in New York. They headed to a wedding reception at Electric Lady Studios in the New York’s Greenwich Village on Saturday night.
Both Kelce and Mahomes have the weekend off for the Chiefs. They are not required back until Tuesday, when the team builds up to the game against Cincinnati Bengals a week on Sunday.
