If you had told us back in 2022, a simpler time when Sundays didn’t revolve around attempting to care about football, that Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes would be wandering around Zero Bond together, we’d have assumed you’d accidentally stumbled across some Swiftie x Kansas City Chiefs fanfic and mistakenly assumed it was news.

But now, Taylor is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and has forged a close bond with Brittany—to the point where they’re attending games together, choreographing handshakes, and inducting Britt into Taylor’s Celeb Friend Hall of Fame. So clearly a timeline of this friendship is in order!*

*With the latest updates up top. Meaning, scroll down for Tay and Brittany’s origin story.

And a few days later, a source for Page Six reveals the "handmade" gift Tay made for Baby Golden: a blanket! “Taylor is so looking forward to meeting Brittany and Patrick’s baby girl and she couldn’t be more thrilled for her friends,” the insider says.

Apparently, making baby blankets for friends is tradition for Tay. “Taylor’s aunt knitted her a baby blanket when she was a child so it’s always had a special meaning for her and something she wanted to do for her friends,” the source continues. "It’s become a tradition for Taylor, something she loves doing and something that can’t be bought. It comes from the heart." Cuuuuute.

Taylor and Brittany shared a *very real* friendship moment at this year’s Super Bowl (where their men’s team, the Chiefs, won against the 49ers). As she stood on the field’s podium at Allegiant Stadium, Brittany yelled down to Taylor, who had been pointing at her. “I told you!” the newly named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie said, according to tweet posted by CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones.

Neither Tay nor Brittany has opened up about the moment, but our guess is Brittany reassured the “Cruel Summer” crooner that the Chiefs would swoop in with the win in the last quarter.

The vendor that baked the cookies—The Tattered Whisk—even posts the creations on social media with the sweetest caption that reads in part, “Who got to make cookies for Taylor Swift herself?!?!? MEEEE! 🙌 My resume is complete (mic drop 🎤) I officially made cookies for one of the world’s most amazing superstars, for the Chiefs vs. Packers game tonight. What a very cool, once in a lifetime thing to get to do! 🤯.”
