Recently, Taylor Swift‘s friendship with Brittany Mahomes has sparked significant attention. After the two were spotted sitting separately during the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener, fans have begun speculating about potential tensions.
In this article, we will delve into details about why Taylor Swift was not sitting with Brittany Mahomes.
Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes controversy explained
The relationship between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes has become a topic of fan speculation, fueled by recent political controversy. During the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener, where they won 27-20 against the Baltimore Ravens, Swift and Mahomes were seen sitting in separate suites. This marked a change from the previous season when they often watched games together. Fans have linked this separation to Mahomes’ recent show of support for former President Donald Trump.
Brittany Mahomes, the wife of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, drew attention in August 2024 when she liked an Instagram post from Trump that outlined his 2024 GOP platform. The post contained political statements such as “seal the border” and “keep men out of women’s sports.” (via Vox) This positions Mahomes at odds with Swift’s well-known progressive stance. Swift’s fanbase reacted quickly, sharing screenshots of the post. They further questioned if the two women’s friendship could endure the political divide.
Though the controversy created a buzz on social media, it is important to note that neither Swift nor Mahomes has commented directly on the situation. Mahomes addressed the speculation indirectly, posting a message on Instagram that emphasized the importance of kindness despite differing views. She noted that disagreements don’t necessarily mean the end of a relationship. The post suggested that she and Swift are still on good terms. Further, Swift and Mahomes were also seen spending time together in Rhode Island.
While the controversy surrounding Mahomes’ political stance continues to garner attention, the exact impact on her and Swift’s friendship is yet to be seen. Meanwhile, Trump has publicly thanked Mahomes for her support. The former U.S. President added a light-hearted remark about hoping to see her and Patrick Mahomes at the Super Bowl.
