In a surprising turn of events, it appears that there might be tension between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes, stemming from Mahomes' recent support of former President Donald Trump. Swift was photographed sitting separately from Mahomes at Thursday night's Kansas City Chiefs game, where she cheered on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. This comes after Mahomes publicly received thanks from Trump for her support.
Previously, Swift and Mahomes were inseparable at Chiefs games, often seen together in the same suite, hugging and dancing. Swift's usual seat was next to Mahomes, as well as adjacent to Kelce's parents. However, things seem to have changed as Mahomes' pro-MAGA views could potentially put her at odds with Swift, who is known for her criticism of Trump.
The ongoing 2024 presidential race has raised the stakes for both sides, with Trump critics viewing him as a threat to democracy and personal freedoms. Swift has not yet endorsed a candidate in the race, but there is speculation that Kamala Harris, the first woman elected U.S. president, would love to include her in her list of celebrity supporters. Swift previously supported the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket in 2020 and has been vocal about her opposition to Trump's views on white supremacy and racism.
It is worth noting that Swift's relationship with Kelce adds another layer of complexity, as he is good friends with Mahomes and they have a successful professional partnership on the football field. The couples have even spent time together socially, including being guests at Swift's Rhode Island mansion.
Patrick Mahomes himself has chosen not to endorse any candidate in the election, emphasizing the importance of individuals using their voices and doing their research. However, Mahomes' wife, who is pregnant with their third child, has indicated that she won't back down from expressing herself. While she has not explicitly endorsed Trump, her actions on social media have been interpreted by many as supportive of the former president.
This recent rift between Swift and Mahomes became apparent at Thursday's game when they were seen cheering from separate luxury suites. They were once known for their close friendship, but now it seems there may be trouble in paradise. Only time will tell whether their relationship will recover from these political differences.
After the game, Swift and Kelce were photographed leaving Arrowhead Stadium together and attending a celebratory party hosted by Kelce in Kansas City. Sources mentioned that Swift seemed to have a great time, letting her hair down and enjoying herself. It is unknown if Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, was present at the party.
While it is unclear whether this rift will affect Swift and Mahomes' friendship in the long term, their separate seating at the game and recent events suggest that their once-close bond might now be strained by their differing political views.
