At the Kansas City Chiefs’ game on September 22, Brittany Mahomes faced criticism for her outfit, which many fans likened to one worn by Taylor Swift just a week prior. During the Chiefs’ match against the Atlanta Falcons, Brittany sported red cowboy boots, a blingy Chiefs T-shirt, and black shorts. She accessorized with a striking red and black purse, which she showcased in her Instagram posts.
However, while Brittany’s outfit was certainly eye-catching, it lacked the flair of Swift’s ensemble from the previous week. According to InStyle, Swift had worn a fashionable dress styled after a red Chiefs jersey during the September 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Her look featured a short, flared design that showcased her chic black boots beautifully, complemented by her flowing curls. In contrast, Brittany opted for two fishtail braids instead, which didn’t quite match Swift’s hairstyle, as did the absence of the elegant purse Swift carried.
Social media was abuzz with reactions to Brittany’s outfit choice.
Fans React to Brittany and Taylor’s Outfit Similarity
Despite Brittany Mahomes’ ongoing issues in the football community, her fans were quick to criticize her outfit for looking like a copy of Taylor Swift’s style. In the comments on her Instagram, Swift’s fans expressed disappointment, pointing out the striking similarities. Comments ranged from suggestions of outright copying Taylor to calls for Brittany to alter her style permanently. One user stated, “Seems to be copying Taylor…” while another exclaimed, “It’s so last week!”
The backlash extended to humorous but serious remarks, with one fan suggesting Brittany should seek a restraining order for copying Taylor. Remarks included playful jabs about the contrasting political views of the two women, igniting more debate among followers, further complicating matters between Brittany’s and Taylor’s public personas.
Swift Wasn’t at the Game
Brittany Mahomes aimed to impress with her outfit inspired by Taylor Swift, but her look might have had a stronger impact if the singer had attended the game. Instead, Swift was out the night before with her friend Gigi Hadid, as reported by TMZ. Some speculate that Brittany chose her outfit in anticipation of Swift’s absence to highlight her look without the competition of Swift’s style, but it seems Brittany’s strategy may have backfired.
Unfortunately for Brittany, there are underlying tensions connected to their friendship following public endorsements of different political figures. Fans wonder if the friendship can survive the scrutiny and differing beliefs. One fan even tweeted a tongue-in-cheek accusation suggesting Brittany advised her husband, Patrick Mahomes, not to pass to Travis Kelce given Swift’s political stance, although Patrick has recently claimed he is focused on enhancing their team’s performance by getting the ball to Kelce more frequently. “I’m going to try my best to keep feeding him the ball,” Mahomes assured, as documented by NBC Sports.
