Taylor Swift has forged a strong friendship with Brittany Mahomes since her relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce began in 2023. However, this association has negatively impacted Swift’s public image, primarily because Brittany is often linked with controversy and drama.
In August 2024, their friendship faced scrutiny as Brittany disclosed her support for Donald Trump. This revelation came when she liked a post from Trump on Instagram that promoted his 2024 campaign. The backlash was swift, with critics attacking her online. In response, Brittany posted a message defending herself, suggesting that adult haters have unresolved childhood issues. This statement added fuel to the fire.
Trump responded positively to Brittany’s defense and referred to her as a key supporter on his social media, praising her commitment to the country. Despite the backlash directed at Brittany, it seems her bond with Swift has remained intact, even though Swift has openly criticized the former president in the past.
Fans Disappointed by Taylor’s Continued Friendship with Brittany
Despite assumptions that Taylor Swift would distance herself from Brittany Mahomes after her political stance became public, the two were seen enjoying each other’s company at the U.S. Open in September 2024. There was no visible tension between them, even amid ongoing criticism of Brittany’s political affiliations. The duo was spotted dancing together and later shared a meal with their partners, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, in Manhattan.
Many fans expressed their disappointment on social media. One remarked on X (formerly Twitter) that seeing them together was disheartening, while another compared Swift to another artist, accusing her of hypocrisy for not cutting off ties with Trump supporters. Reports confirmed that Brittany visited Swift’s home in Rhode Island, reinforcing their friendship.
Brittany addressed the criticism by quoting a Christian author, emphasizing that differing opinions can coexist with love and kindness.
Taylor Swift’s Political Endorsement Causes Stir
In September 2024, Taylor Swift made her political views clear by endorsing Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz for the upcoming presidential election. In an Instagram post, she condemned misinformation regarding her support for Trump and stated her commitment to addressing the topic openly.
Trump retaliated with a harsh message on his platform, declaring his distaste for Swift. Following this, reports suggested that Brittany Mahomes might reconsider her support for Trump due to the fallout from Swift’s endorsement. Sources indicated that Brittany values her friendship with Swift highly and was affected by the negative attention.
As of now, it seems that Brittany and Swift maintain a strong friendship, evidenced by a recent TikTok video showing them happily embracing at a Chiefs game in October 2024.
