Patrick Mahomes' Mother Dubs Taylor Swift 'Family' in New Photo

Randi Martin, mother of Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has dubbed Taylor Swift "family" in a new photo shared to her Instagram @randimahomes.

The 34-year-old singer has been a regular at Chiefs' games since September, when she and the team's tight end, Travis Kelce, went public with their relationship.

Along with Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, the pop star is often seen hanging out with Brittany Mahomes during games. Swift and the wife of Patrick Mahomes have seemingly developed a close friendship, often spotted on girls' nights out with other team members' wives and partners. Newsweek has reached out to Randi Martin for comment via Instagram.

Swift watched Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens from a luxury box at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. Randi Martin snapped a selfie with the Grammy winner from the V.I.P area, along with Brittany Mahomes, her son Jackson Mahomes, 23, and her teen daughter Mia.

"Chiefs headed to Super Bowl!! My team! My family!" Randi Martin wrote alongside the photo, which shows the group cheering following the Chiefs' 17-10 win.

Chiefs' fans couldn't get enough of the "proud mom moment." "Cute pic," commented Jo-Ann Altamuro Blatt.

"Best family there is," wrote Natalie Morales, along with a heart emoji.

"Congratulations Chiefs and Mom on a job well done," posted Ms. Creole, while Chalea Jacobs added: "We love our Mahomes Family + Taylor!"

Randi and Brittany Mahomes aren't the only ones to welcome Swift with open arms. The "Style" singer also appears to get along well with Kelce's family.

Swift is often photographed during games with Donna Kelce, and was recently spotted laughing at the antics of Kelce's brother, fellow NFL star Jason Kelce, during the Chiefs' recent clash with the Buffalo Bills.

The Philadelphia Eagles center became an internet sensation following the game on January 21. The 36-year-old tore his shift off and dove into the crowd to high-five fans after the Chiefs scored their first touchdown, while his casual shirtless beer-swigging behind Swift had NFL punters in hysterics.

This was despite his wife, Kylie Kelce, telling him to "be on his best behavior" because they were meeting Swift, with Jason Kelce's half-naked cheering becoming a meme and even a T-shirt.

During a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, which the Kelce brothers co-host, Jason planned to "set the bar nice and low" for his first encounter with the music icon.

"I was like, 'Kylie, the first day I met you, I was blackout drunk and fell asleep at the bar,'" Jason Kelce said. "This is part of the Jason Kelce charm. I want to make my best first impression.

"My best first impression is the worst impression ever, so I can just build from there," the elder Kelce brother added.

Fortunately, Swift didn't seem to mind, with Travis Kelce telling him: "Tay said she absolutely loved you."

Donna Kelce also appears to approve of her son's relationship with the singer. In a clip uploaded to Instagram in November, fans noticed that the 71-year-old has Swift's music playing softly in the background while showcasing her Celebrity Cruises' suite.
