Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, made waves on social media Friday with a pointed message directed at her critics. The Instagram post, in which she addressed her “haters,” came on the heels of a controversy surrounding her online activity.
The backlash began when social media users noticed that Brittany appeared to have liked a post by former President Donald Trump on Instagram. The post, dated August 13, outlined the “2024 GOP platform.” This action quickly sparked speculation and criticism, leading to widespread discussions online.
In response to the growing scrutiny, Brittany took to her Instagram story to share her thoughts. “I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” she wrote. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
The situation became even more complicated when screenshots and a screen-recorded video surfaced, supposedly showing her liking Trump’s post. However, when Fox News Digital later reviewed the post, Brittany’s account was not among the 400,000-plus likes. This led to further speculation and confusion among fans and critics alike.
Brittany Mahomes’ camp has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter.

Adding another layer to the drama, supporters of Brittany’s message speculated that fans of Taylor Swift were behind much of the backlash. Swift, who is dating Patrick Mahomes’ teammate Travis Kelce, has been known to publicly support Democratic candidates, including her endorsement of Joe Biden in 2020.
Brittany and Swift had attended several Chiefs games together this season and were even spotted dining out in New York City.
Despite the controversy, Brittany still follows Swift on Instagram, though Swift famously does not follow anyone on the platform. The timing of Brittany’s post also raised eyebrows, as it came just two hours before Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker made headlines with his comments on his religious beliefs related to women’s reproductive rights.
The unfolding drama has left fans and followers of both Mahomes and Swift curious about what might happen next in this intersection of sports, politics, and pop culture.
