Brittany Mahomes faced backlash after appearing to show support for Donald Trump. Social media was quick to criticize her for aligning with the former president’s viewpoints, especially upsetting Taylor Swift fans who questioned their friendship.
Reports from Fox News indicated that the controversy began when Brittany liked a post on Trump’s Instagram detailing plans for a potential future presidency. This move drew criticism from various social media users, questioning her stance on racial issues and her ability to support a candidate with biracial children.
While Brittany didn’t directly address the backlash, she posted a message on her Instagram Story aimed at her critics.
Taylor Swift drawn into the controversy
In response to her critics, Brittany Mahomes hinted that their negative reactions were fueled by jealousy. Speculation arose about strain in her friendship with Taylor Swift due to differing political views. While Swift hasn’t publicly endorsed a 2024 candidate, her opposition to Trump in 2020 was notable. This led to conjecture that conflicting political affiliations might impact their friendship.
Upon returning from her tour, Swift extended an invitation to the Mahomes family to visit her home in Rhode Island, according to the Daily Mail.
Suggestions that Swift may secretly support Trump due to a previous post have surfaced among some online users.
Support for Kamala Harris from Travis Kelce’s ex
While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce remain neutral, Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole publicly expressed support for Kamala Harris. Nicole’s social media activity hinted at potential differences with Brittany Mahomes, raising questions about their friendship dynamics.
Nicole’s decision to unfollow Mahomes on Instagram fueled speculation about their relationship, particularly after Mahomes and Swift attended an event together. Nicole clarified that the move was not a reflection of their friendship but rather a personal choice.
