Patrick Mahomes joins Meghan Trainor in iconic new State Farm commercial ahead of NFL season

Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, appears in a new State Farm commercial with singer Meghan Trainor. The ad, titled “Trainor vs. Trainer,” came out on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, just before the NFL season began. Instead of football, they shine in a funny spot that shows why State Farm claims it’s different from other insurance brands.In this ad, Patrick Mahomes stands beside State Farm’s athletic trainer, Julie Frymyer, and bridges football and pop music. Trainor plays a humorous version of herself who tries to help Mahomes with a brace. She even turns her hit song into “All About That Brace” to fit the scene. State Farm explains the joke simply: having normal insurance is not the same as having State Farm, just like a pop singer is not the same as a trained pro like Frymyer. Frymyer is the trainer who helped Mahomes after an ankle sprain during the Chiefs’ 2022 playoff run.Peter Adams (on Adweek) adds more details: the campaign spans TV, online, streaming, and even Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football. Patrick Mahomes wanted to highlight Frymyer because she’s one of the few women trainers in the NFL, only one of 21.Also Read: Travis Hunter Injury Sparks Harsh Critique From Ryan Clark On Jaguars Draft DecisionMeghan Trainor said working on the ad was “a blessing and a miracle.” She also joked about telling her family, “Guess what, I booked the most iconic commercial ever, yes, it’s me and Pat Mahomes” when she found out about the project.In the clip, Trainor tries to tape a brace onto Mahomes’ arm and dances with tape strips. It’s playful and unexpected. Jake from State Farm also shows up to sell the idea that you don’t settle for just any insurance when you can go with State Farm.This ad blends music and sports. It’s bold and fun, and it aims to reach fans of both football and pop culture. It reminds people of State Farm’s old “Batman vs. Bateman” idea, showing how creative campaigns can stand out even in insurance.
