Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave his opinion on favorite target Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift, and he admits the added attention hasn’t become a distraction in the locker room.

With Swift attending Chiefs games this season, creating a massive influx of attention, every Kansas City game feels like the Super Bowl. But Mahomes doesn’t view things that way.

"I don’t think it feels any different," he told ESPN. "People see the whole Taylor Swift and Travis [relationship], and they make it a huge deal because it is a huge deal. I think it becomes a bigger deal to the fan bases than it does to the guys that are actually in the building."

Mahomes, who called Kelce his "brother" in the segment while explaining how close his family is to the Kelces now, has gotten the chance to get to know Swift.

"I’ve been lucky enough to meet Taylor and see how good of a person she is," Mahomes said. "I think you can understand why it’s not become a distraction or anything like that because everybody cares about being the best they can be every day."

TRAVIS KELCE ISSUES APOLOGY TO TAYLOR SWIFT'S DAD SCOTT AFTER CONCERT FLUB

The Chiefs are coming off their bye week during which Kelce took the trip to Argentina to see Swift open her international dates on her Eras Tour in Buenos Aires. Swift and Kelce went viral as the former ran up to the latter after her concert and shared a kiss before walking offstage.

But now it's back to football as the Chiefs enter a Super Bowl rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles in Kansas City on Monday night. Kelce will face his older brother, Jason Kelce, as these two teams are once again primed to make playoff runs toward another hopeful Super Bowl.

Mahomes discussed what this matchup means for them coming off the bye.

"Playing on Monday night, it’s going to be about as close to a Super Bowl-type feel that you can have playing against another great team that we just played in the Super Bowl last year," he said. "We get to see where we’re at as an offense, as a defense and as an entire team. The biggest thing is you get to see how guys respond under the lights. I think that’s what gets you ready for playoffs and Super Bowl games."

There was hope that Swift would be present for this game at GEHA Field, but her postponed concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Saturday is this Monday.

Still, "Swifties" have gravitated to Kelce and the Chiefs this season, joining a rabid Kansas City fan base that is looking to move to 8-2 on the year with a win.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said former President Donald Trump would be a risky 2024 GOP nominee, saying he has a "small" chance of beating President Biden, and would have a tough time attracting the necessary talent to "get the job done" should he win.

DeSantis, who is locked in a heated battle for second place in the Republican primary race with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, was asked about his thoughts on the frontrunner Trump on CNN’s "State of the Union."

"Donald Trump is a high-risk proposition as a nominee because I think the chance of him getting elected is small, but it’s a low reward because he’s going to be a lame duck on day one – that even if he could get elected, he would not be able to attract the type of talent to work in his administration and he’d be saddled with all these distractions that it’d be virtually impossible to get the job done," DeSantis said.

DeSantis also likened Trump to Biden in terms of age, saying the position of commander in chief is "not a job for an 80-year-old."

Biden, 80, is roughly three and a half years older than Trump, 77. Should Trump win the presidency, he will be 79 years old when taking office. DeSantis is 44.

"Father time is undefeated," the governor said. "Donald Trump is not exempt from any of that. I think with somebody like me, you go in, you know, I'm in the prime of my life. I go in day one, I'll serve two terms, deliver big results and get the country moving again. That's what Republican voters want to see."

DeSantis claimed that the Trump running today isn’t the same Trump who would "barnstorm" debate stages in 2016 and was "really going to shake things up."

Now Trump is "wedded to the teleprompter," unwilling to debate and is running on many of the same issues he failed to deliver on in 2016, the governor said, citing the construction of the border wall and "draining the swamp" in Washington, D.C., among the former president's failures.

Meanwhile, Trump continued to attack both DeSantis and Haley during his appearance Saturday in Iowa, urging those in attendance to turn out on caucus day to "make sure we have a big victory" that would signal to other candidates that they should drop out.
