Taylor Swift has shown her support for Brittany Mahomes following a “disturbing” incident that took place in Buffalo last weekend.
The Kansas City Chiefs faced a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills, ultimately losing 30-21 at Highmark Stadium in upstate New York. This marked the Chiefs’ first loss of the regular season, bringing their record to 9-1, while Josh Allen and his team celebrated a significant victory against their AFC rivals.
However, while the Bills delivered on the field, some of their fans—commonly known as the “Bills Mafia”—are now facing criticism for their behavior off the field. Specifically, some Bills fans were seen hanging a doll resembling Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes from a pole before the game, which many have described as a “classless” act.
The doll, styled to mimic Mahomes, was Kermit the Frog-themed and sported a No. 15 Chiefs jersey, making it clear who it was meant to represent. This unsettling image was met with widespread disapproval, as fans and observers alike felt it crossed the line of good sportsmanship.
Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Patrick Mahomes, was understandably disturbed by the sight. The act was seen by many as an unnecessary and disrespectful gesture, taking rivalry too far.
Taylor Swift, who has grown close to Brittany Mahomes since becoming involved with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has reportedly reached out to Brittany to offer support. According to an insider who spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com, Swift and Kelce were deeply troubled by the incident. “Taylor’s friends said she and Travis found it incredibly disturbing,” the source revealed. “She has talked to Brittany, who was really taken aback by the whole situation.”

Patrick Mahomes, who rose to stardom during his collegiate years at Texas Tech, has acknowledged the long-running comparisons between his voice and that of the iconic Muppet character, Kermit the Frog. Over the years, Mahomes has taken the jokes in stride, often responding with humor. “I’ve gotten used to it; it’s like the joke that keeps giving,” Mahomes said in response to the comparisons.
“I’ve heard it all, jokes about Kermit the Frog or about smoking cigarettes. It’s unique, so maybe I’ll get a deal from having that unique voice.” While Mahomes usually finds a way to laugh off such jabs, it’s clear that the stunt in Buffalo took things to an uncomfortable level.
Rivalries are an essential part of sports, adding excitement and drama to each game. But this particular act by a segment of Bills fans has raised questions about the line between spirited rivalry and inappropriate behavior.
Many agree that while competition can be fun, actions like this serve no purpose other than to demean and upset. The Bills Mafia is well known for their passionate support of their team, but this incident suggests that some fans may have gone too far.
The Chiefs are set to return to action this Sunday, as they face off against the Carolina Panthers at 1 p.m. ET. Despite the recent loss and the unsettling events in Buffalo, the Chiefs will be looking to bounce back and get back to their winning ways.
The Week 12 matchup will be broadcast live on CBS, and fans are eager to see how the Chiefs respond after a challenging week both on and off the field.
For Brittany Mahomes, the support of friends like Taylor Swift serves as a reminder that even in the face of unsettling incidents, there is a strong community surrounding the Chiefs family.
The relationship between Swift and the Mahomes family has blossomed over the past few months, and this latest gesture of support highlights the genuine connection they have built.
As the NFL season continues, it’s clear that rivalries will remain intense, but the focus, both on and off the field, should always be on respecting players and their families.
Sports are meant to unite and entertain, and with leaders like Patrick Mahomes and Deion Sanders speaking out about class and composure, there’s hope that the fan culture around the NFL can continue to improve.
