All is well in the world of Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes! The two put an end to recent rift rumors by stepping out together for a fun-filled double date at the U.S. Open on Sunday, September 8th.
The pop superstar and Brittany, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, were spotted warmly embracing each other in a private suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City during the Men’s Singles Final of the prestigious tennis tournament. In the photos captured, the duo looked happy and relaxed as they shared a tight hug, dispelling any speculation of tension between them.
Joining them for the evening were Taylor’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his teammate Patrick Mahomes, 28. The group appeared to be enjoying each other’s company, flashing smiles and laughing together. This public display of affection came at just the right time, as fans had recently speculated about a falling out between Taylor and Brittany.
The rumors started when the two sat in separate suites during the Chiefs’ season-opener win against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, September 5.

Taylor and Brittany had been nearly inseparable during the previous football season, often spotted together supporting the Chiefs from the sidelines. However, some fans believed their recent distance was linked to controversy surrounding Brittany’s social media activity. Brittany had faced backlash for “liking” a post in support of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump—a figure Taylor Swift has been outspokenly critical of in the past. Taylor has been vocal about her political views, particularly her disapproval of Trump, leading many to wonder if this created friction between the two women.
However, the sweet moment at the U.S. Open showed that any rumored tension was overblown. The pair further silenced the gossip by hitting the town for a dinner date with their partners later that evening.
Taylor and Brittany were spotted hand-in-hand with Travis and Patrick as they headed into the chic M?düz? Mediterranean restaurant in Manhattan. The “Cruel Summer” singer looked stunning in head-to-toe Gucci, matching the fashionable attire of Travis and Brittany, who had also sported designer outfits earlier in the day at the tennis match.
The double date was part of a packed weekend for Taylor and Travis, who are navigating their relationship while juggling their busy careers. With Taylor enjoying a brief break from her record-shattering Eras Tour and Travis kicking off his 2024-2025 NFL season, the couple made the most of their time together. Before attending the U.S. Open, they were spotted on a cozy pizza date at Brooklyn hotspot Lucali on Friday, September 6.
They also attended the wedding of model Karen Elson and Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster the following day, marking a whirlwind weekend in the Big Apple.
As the NFL season heats up and Taylor resumes her tour, it’s clear that the superstar and her NFL circle are closer than ever, with Taylor and Brittany proving that their bond remains strong despite any swirling rumors.
