Some NFL fans are speculating that the friendship between Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift may be on the rocks following some controversial social media activity from Mahomes this week.
Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, reportedly liked a post on social media that was supportive of Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election. This action caught the attention of many, given Taylor Swift’s well-known opposition to Trump, which she has been vocal about since the 2020 election.
Back in 2020, Swift made headlines with her strong political stance, urging her fans to vote against Trump. She emphasized the need for leadership that acknowledges the rights and safety of people of color, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community. “The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included,” Swift stated at the time. She publicly supported Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, believing they could help heal the country.
This week, when Brittany Mahomes appeared to like a MAGA post on social media, it led to a wave of speculation that Swift might distance herself from the friendship. Fans were quick to comment on the potential fallout. “Well, it looks like Brittany can forget posting up with Taylor Swift in the skyboxes from now on. Could seriously strain their TikTok relationship,” one fan remarked. Another added, “This season is gonna be awkward in the stadium suites with Brittany and Taylor Swift.”
The chatter intensified as more fans weighed in, with some predicting a showdown between the two in the NFL’s luxury boxes. “The NFL is getting Brittany Mahomes vs. Taylor Swift,” joked another fan.
However, Brittany Mahomes didn’t stay silent amidst the speculation. She took to her Instagram story on Friday to express her frustration with the rumors, calling out the negativity. “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.”
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to kick off the 2024 NFL season on Thursday, September 5, against the Baltimore Ravens, the focus will soon shift back to the field.
But for now, the buzz around Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift’s friendship continues to dominate conversations online. The game is set to start at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
