Will Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes’ political differences set them apart?
Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Pattrick Mahomes has been vocal over her support towards former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and has received a lot of backlash for it online. On the other hand, Taylor Swift, whose Democratic stance has her publically endorsing Kamala Harris, has led fans to think her friendship with Mahomes is in jeopardy.
Recently, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer appeared on the Bravo channel on Tuesday and vocalized on this buzzing issue and whether people should care about friendship. She stated, “We do care about Taylor Swift and, no, we shouldn’t give a damn,” referencing their growing friendship. The two got close after the pop star started dating Travis Kelce, who plays alongside Pattrick for the Chiefs.
Brittany came under fire after she vocalized support for Trump by liking an Instagram post on August 13 for his 2024 policy formulation. Democratic Swifties took matters into their own hands and made Brittany’s actions viral on social media calling the situation to attention.
Appalled by the backlash, the mom-of-three took to her Instagram to post cryptic messages justifying her support for Trump. She addressed the naysayers directly writing, “I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” before adding, “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
Again, she posted a follow-up message that may have addressed the buzz about her and Swift’s relationship on August 26. Mahomes 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,” before emphasizing, “Read that again!”
Here she seems to be indicating that even though she and Swift may have politically different stances, it does not mean they don’t love each other. This may be the answer to our question of whether the two remain friends after this fiasco. Mahomes even liked several comments that support Trump, with one liked comment stating, “TRUMP-VANCE 2024.”
After Swift endorsed Harris’ September 10th campaign, Trump directly expressed his opinion publically, per Fox News. When he made an appearance on “Fox & Friends” and said he liked “Mrs. Mahomes much better” than the ‘Karma’ hitmaker.
Taylor and Brittany did not sit together this NFL season
The intrigue on whether the two remain friends reached its zenith after they were not spotted sitting together during the first two NFL playoffs of the Kansas City Chiefs. When the Chiefs won against the Baltimore Ravens and then against the Cincinnati Bengals consecutively, the billionaire pop star was not spotted in Mahomes’ suite at the Arrowhead Stadium.
This is odd considering last September, the two were always posing for pictures before games and cheering on their partners while seated beside each other.
It may be too soon to say anything given that Swift and Brittany still follow each other and have not taken down their Instagram pictures. However, the election campaigns have certainly affected the frequency of their interactions.
