Michigan Governor comments on Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Gretchen Whitmer addressed the controversy surrounding Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes.
During the show’s “Should We Give a Damn?!” segment, Whitmer was asked whether or not Swift remains friends with Mahomes despite their potential political differences. She replied, “No, we shouldn’t give a damn!”
Whitmer’s brief but candid reply suggested that political views shouldn’t affect friendships. Rumors about a rift between Swift and Mahomes began swirling after the two were seen sitting separately during the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener. Some speculated that this distance was due to their alleged political differences. However, despite these rumors, Swift and Mahomes have maintained a strong friendship.
The pair were later spotted embracing at the US Open, signaling that any perceived tension was overblown. Nevertheless, the pop icon faced backlash from some fans for her association with Mahomes, given Mahomes’ rumored support for Trump.
In response to the growing speculation about her friendship with Swift, Mahomes shared a quote on Instagram. She wrote, “Contrary to the tone of the world today….you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind” (via People).
