Gift from Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift raises $80,000 for Patrick Mahomes’ foundation
A few of the Chiefs star players spent part of the NFL Draft weekend thinking about a different sport.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ foundation had a golf fundraiser in Las Vegas, and tight end Travis Kelce was among the teammates to join in the fun.
Kelce and Mahomes had their significant others with them. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes were spotted Friday night at Easy’s Cocktail Lounge inside the ARIA Resort & Casino with Kelce and girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
That’s according to TMZ, which said no photos or videos were taken of the quartet.
Here are highlights from the rest of the weekend.
Saturday
Mahomes’ 15 & the Mahomies foundation had its Las Vegas Golf Tournament Gala on Saturday night at Bellagio.
There were plenty of pictures and videos at this event, including this of Kelce and Swift arriving at the Gala.

Harry Santa-Olalla was the auctioneer at the fundraising event, but he gave the microphone to Kelce at one point for an important announcement.
“I was just talking to my significant other, and we might have one other auction item, that wasn’t on the docket,” Kelce told he crowd, per the Las Vegas Review Journal. “Has anybody heard of the ‘Eras Tour?’ There might be a fun gig where there are four tickets to the New Orleans, Miami, Indianapolis or New Orleans dates when the tour comes back to the United States. Does that fire anybody up right now?”

Santa-Olalla said on Instagram the tickets sold for $80,000, and soon after Mahomes began throwing autographed footballs into the crowd and they were going for $10,000 each.
One of those passes from Mahomes ended up in the hands of Kelce.
Swift joined others at the charity event in waving a napkin at one point.

And there’s been speculation on social media that Brittany Mahomes and Swift are on the outs. Well, that was put to rest at the Gala.
