Taylor Swift was spotted seated separately from bestie Brittany Mahomes at Thursdays Kansas City Chiefs game after the wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes came out in support of ex-President Donald Trump.
Brittany Mahomes had been a frequent companion of Swifts since she began dating Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce, and the two typically sat together in the same suite at gamesbut Mahomes found herself in hot water with some Swift fans (and potentially Swift herself) after she liked a post from Donald Trumps Instagram account that outlined his plan to make America great again, which included 20 line items such as keeping men out of womens sports and cutting federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory.
The backlash to Mahomes support was swift (pun intended), with Twitter/X users wondering how people with kids would still vote for a known child rapist/felon. Guess people like Brittany Mahomes prefer the tax breaks over child safety.
Mahomes fired back amid the online fervor over her presumptive support of Trump, when she wrote in a post to Instagram, I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. Theres no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.

Kelces teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, were also at the event with their children. Swift and Brittany have become fast friends, spending many of the Kansas City Chiefs games side-by-side in the VIP box.

Again. LOL.

(2,505 posts)is schooling someone on how it is wrong to be a hater? Someone who supports the most hate-filled man on the planet says hate is wrong? This is so stereotypical MAGA--the projection, the denial, the whole bit. Every accusation with them is a confession.

Normally popular pro athletes don't want to kill the golden goose by doing something controversial. His wife's opinion is probably the majority in KCMO, but he has a lot of fans elsewhere. Wife's comment could cost him a bundle in endorsement deals.

(1,857 posts)He is a right-wing ultra conservative. He has shut down liberal team mates of the Chiefs from speaking out. Of course Harrison Butker is allowed to spew all the rw rot he wants with praise.
I hope he hasn't convinced Taylor to not endorse Kamala.

(52,031 posts)As a kid who was born with a black dad and white mom, I have been blessed to be accepted for who I am my entire life, but that isnt the case for everyone, Mahomes wrote. The senseless murders that we have witnessed are wrong and cannot continue in our country.
A few days later, Mahomes was part of a group of NFL players that called on the league to condemn racism, referencing the deaths of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others.

Mahomes and his foundation split the cost with the Chiefs to pay for Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs play their home games, to be open on Election Day as a polling place. Chiefs president Mark Donovan told reporters at the time that it cost six figures to make it happen.

(535 posts)Thought she was just misunderstood. I was wrong. She is an A$$hole.
I don't believe her Husband is pro Trump at all though.
Not with his Black lives Matter support in the Past.
I just can't believe Brittney would be so tone deaf as to support a guy who is an outright racist/birther.
I'm through with her. Still like her Husband, but her not so much

MorbidButterflyTat
(2,622 posts)I have had to endure too much of the KC Chiefs, but, since Taylor started dating Travis Kelce, and the media just has to show her cheering for him in the private booth, I have never seen Brittany Mahomes sitting with Taylor. I see Taylor sitting with Travis's mother, but not Brittany.
Also, from the article:
"Brittany Mahomes had been a frequent companion of Swifts since she began dating Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce..."
That's some sloppy writing. It sounds like Brittany Mahomes began dating Travis Kelce.
Just really, overall gossipy mean girl crap. Who. Cares.
