However, his latest commentary on the budding friendship between Taylor Swift and Brittney Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has the polarizing figure in hot water, Men’s Journal
reports.Swift and Mahomes have been thrust into the national media, thanks to Swift’s rumored relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In support of their partners, the two women have even created a celebratory handshake, which cameras captured during the Chiefs-Chargers game on Oct. 22.

“I didn’t know who the other girl [Mahomes] was, but I thought it was interesting. I was thinking the same thing you was thinking,” Simpson, 76, responded. “Their boulders was hitting each other, you know. It was a little bit of a turn-on. [A] little turn-on.”
