Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes could have some explaining to do to teammate Travis Kelce after modeling for Kim Kardashian's SKIMS holiday campaign. It comes in light of Taylor Swift, Kelce's girlfriend, recently reigniting her feud with "The Kardashians" star over a 2016 phone call with her then-husband Kanye West.

Swift, 33, again addressed the situation in an interview with "TIME" after being named the magazine's Person of the Year. It centered around a lyric from the song "Famous" from Ye's seventh studio album, "The Life of Pablo."
On the track, he says: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b****h famous.” It refers to when the rapper interrupted her acceptance speech after being awarded Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
Swift said the lyric was "misogynistic," but Ye claimed she approved of it. Kardashian involved herself after sharing a video clip on social media of the phone call between her then-husband and Swift speaking about the song.

The pop superstar was adamant it was manipulated footage, edited to make her look bad. That claim was proven in 2020 when the unedited version came to light, in which Ye did not mention how he would be describing Swift.
Both she and Kardashian addressed the leaked footage, with neither backing down. The latter said: "This will be the last time I speak on this."
She claimed "nobody cares," but no three-and-a-half years on, Swift has added another chapter to the saga. The superstar has spoken about how the whole situation affected her.
“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift said. That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.
"I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
After calling out Kardashian by name again, it remains unclear how Swift feels about the Mahomes family promoting the clothing brand Ye's ex-wife founded in 2019. Patrick and his wife Brittany posed alongside their young children "Bronze" Lavon and Sterling Skye in the campaign.
Swift has become particularly close with Brittany since dating Kelce. The two have been seen together at several Chiefs games while cheering on the team this season.
Only last weekend, they were beside each other in a suite at Lambeau Field as Kansas City surprisingly lost on the road to the Green Bay Packers. One or both seem likely to be at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday when the Chiefs return back home to play the Buffalo Bills.
