The Spice Girls said it best: If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends. And Taylor Swift did just that when she started hanging out with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is a teammate and best friend to the pop star's boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

It wasn't long before Taylor and Brittany forged a friendship of their own, going on girls' nights out, attending games, and choreographing secret handshakes. All signs point to a lasting position on Swift's squad. 

Ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl, take a look back at the full timeline of Swift and Mahomes's fast — and flourishing — friendship.

And so it begins! The night before the Chiefs-Jets game, Taylor and Brittany make their first public appearance together during a girls' night out at Emilio's Ballato in New York's Soho neighborhood. Two of Swift's other squad members, Sophie Turner and Blake Lively, joined them.

Swift and Mahomes took their friendship to the next level with a special BFF handshake à la Annie James and Hallie Parker in the Parent Trap during the second quarter of the Chiefs-Chargers game. They debuted their choreographed routine — which saw them slapping the backs and fronts of their hands together five times and bumping hips — after the Chiefs scored a touchdown.

Taylor and Brittany showed off their BFF style while wearing coordinating red-and-black outfits at the Chief-Packers game. And if Swift's red teddy coat looks familiar, it's because Mahomes might have let her borrow it.

Back in November 2022, Brittany was photographed wearing a nearly-identical jacket when she was pregnant with her second child, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III.

Mahomes came to Swift's defense from the dads, Brads, and Chads who complained that the pop star "ruined football." Over on her Instagram Story, Brittany shared a quote from sports commentator Charles Barkley that read: "If you're screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined (football), you're just a loser."

Mahomes replied under the post, writing, "Let. Them. Know."
