Brittany Mahomes Braves the Storm
At the NFL 2024 season opener on September 5, 2024, at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City Chiefs fans faced an unexpected delay due to a strong storm. Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was among those sheltering in place. As rain and lightning poured down before the game against the Baltimore Ravens, Brittany and her daughter, Sterling Skye, took shelter under Chiefs towels. Brittany shared a video on Instagram Stories, reassuring fans with a simple message: “We’re surviving,” as Sterling smiled despite the weather.
Brittany, who is expecting the couple’s third child, wore a white t-shirt and cargo denim jeans with red and yellow accents reflecting the team’s colors. Sterling, just 3 years old, was dressed in a matching red dress and ruffled socks, her pigtails adorned with pink bows. The family’s resilience and cheerfulness amid the storm showcased their dedication to the Chiefs and the game.
Taylor Swift and Chiefs’ Fan Impact
Taylor Swift, known for her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was also at the stadium despite the storm. Arriving in a golf cart, Swift greeted fans and made her way into the stadium in a striking outfit of thigh-high boots, shorts, and a bustier tank. Her presence at the game, alongside the Mahomes family, was a significant highlight amid the weather delay.
Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt noted earlier in the day that Swift’s attendance and relationship with Kelce had positively influenced the team’s fanbase, particularly increasing interest among young female fans. At the pregame show, Donna Kelce and SNL star Heidi Gardner created friendship bracelets using the team’s colors, further emphasizing the impact of Swift’s presence and the growing enthusiasm surrounding the Chiefs.
