Taylor Swift and her partner, NFL player Travis Kelce, were seen at the US Open in New York, accompanied by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
This appearance follows rumors of a possible divide between Swift and the Mahomes family, yet the group seemed to dispel those speculations by attending the tennis match together.
There was recent chatter about a possible conflict between Swift and Brittany due to differing political views, with claims that Swift and Patrick Mahomes kept a distance during a Chiefs game.
However, the supposed disagreement seemed exaggerated, as Swift and Brittany were captured embracing each other at the event, indicating harmony.
In spite of the public display of friendship, some fans expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, criticizing Swift for her association with the Mahomes family.
Critics noted Brittany Mahomes‘ support for Donald Trump, questioning why Swift chose to stay connected. Additionally, concerns arose regarding Brittany defending her brother-in-law, Jackson Mahomes, amidst his ongoing legal issues related to sexual assault charges.
Fan responses to Swift and Brittany’s interaction
Some fans quickly labeled Swift a “coward” for not distancing herself from the Mahomes family given the surrounding controversies.
One fan noted, “In her documentary, she condemned those who stay silent in the face of controversy, yet now she’s getting close to someone who supports Trump and is quiet about everything?”
Another remarked: “Five years ago, Taylor expressed her desire to oppose Trump and even referred to herself as Miss Americana. Now she seems to be cozying up to his supporters.”
“I thought maybe Taylor had some integrity when she didn’t sit with Brittany at the Chiefs game, but then I saw her cuddling with her days later,” a third fan pointed out.
