Patrick Mahomes offered a glimpse into his double date night in Amsterdam with wife Brittany Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, saying their post-Eras Tour dinner was them “just having fun.”

Patrick Mahomes is providing insight into the alchemy of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback shared what it was really like behind the scenes of his adorable double date night with the couple and his wife Brittany Mahomes following the “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras Tour show in Amsterdam in July.

“We were just having fun and enjoying a dinner just like anyone else would,” Patrick told The Athletic in an interview published Aug. 20. “That’s what makes it so great. We don’t make it more than what it is; it’s just friendship, fellowship and enjoying everyone’s success.”

And for Patrick, that attitude is what makes Travis and Taylor’s relationship of over a year work so well. After all, the NFL tight end’s life may have changed in a fortnight, but he’s still the “same guy.”

“It’s a huge platform and everyone in the world can see it, deservedly so because of how great Taylor is, but it’s still Travis,” Patrick continued. “I think that’s what makes it so cool, even though it’s such a big thing for the world.”

And that’s not the only reason their love story has stood the test of time. In fact, Patrick previously joked that Travis is guilty as sin of putting Taylor’s opinion on certain matters above his friends’.

“I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out,” the 28-year-old quipped during an Aug. 13 appearance on NFL Training Camp Tour SiriusXM special, “and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it.”

Of course, Travis does listen to Patrick when it really counts. Case in point: Patrick was the one who encouraged the 34-year-old to shoot his shot with Taylor at her fateful Eras Tour stop in Kansas City last year.

“I had some input in there as well,” Patrick revealed during a May 23 appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, recalling that he’d told his pal, “‘Dude, just go for it, just go for it.'”

No. 1: He’s a Swiftie

Long before Taylor Swift’s attendance at the Kansas City Chief’s Sept. 24 game became one of the definitive pop culture moments of the year, Travis Kelce was an admirer of the Grammy winner.

The star tight end’s interest in Taylor was first revealed by one of his teammates in a TikTok video posted by the Chiefs in August (which, in hindsight, was when the pair were secretly dating).

Before Travis could answer the prompt of who his celebrity crush was, wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling spilled, “Taylor Swift!”

Travis smiled at the camera before holding his finger up to his moustache, saying, “Alright now!”

Plus, Travis was just one of many celebs to attend Taylor’s record-breaking Eras Tour this summer. But more on that enchanting moment in a bit…

No. 2: He’s Not Her Usual Type (on Paper)

While he does have that daydream look in his eyes (especially when he sees Taylor on the big-screen at one of his games), Travis stands out a bit when you look back at Taylor’s dating history.

She is typically attracted to creative types, including actors (Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner and Tom Hiddleston) and musicians (Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Harry Styles and, most recently, Matty Healy).

But perhaps that’s why her romance with the lighthearted and cheeky athlete—who signed a four-year deal with the Chiefs worth $57 million in 2020—feels like such a refreshing option for Taylor after her six-year uber-private relationship with Joe came to an end in April 2023.

No. 3: He Publicly Pursued Her

Looks like the eight-time Pro Bowler’s wishes came true after he all but manifested his rumored romance with the superstar through sheer will, determination and declarations of infatuation.

Travis publicly aired his failed attempt to shoot his shot and talk to Taylor when he attended the Kansas City stop on her Eras Tour July 7. As it turns out, he had a special gift for her: A friendship bracelet bearing his “number” that he hoped to give Taylor. (He wouldn’t definitely say if it was his jersey number or phone number.)

Despite his claim that he was “disappointed” he failed to meet her after the concert, Taylor confirmed to TIME that she belatedly caught his podcast pass.

“Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she recalled. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

So, that whole theory about the Sept. 24 game being their first official hang? As Taylor clarified to TIME, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
