Brittany Mahomes is a Trump supporter. This is already clear.
In the dog days of summer, Brittany seems to be doing her best to make sure the internet knows she supports the Republican 2024 presidential candidate.
Granted, it was a huge recognition, but it put her at odds with many in her inner circle.
No, we’re not talking about her husband, Patrick Mahomes — although that’s an issue, too.
To be honest, we’re more interested in her friendship with Taylor Swift. Will Brittany becoming a Trump supporter end their friendship? That was certainly the case in the Chiefs’ first game of the season. But then, something magical happened!
Brittany Mahomes endorses Trump for president and wants you to know it
Let’s start from the beginning.
In late August, Brittany “liked” the convicted felon’s Instagram post in which Trump outlined the Republican Party’s platform for the 2024 election.
According to social media sources, the platform includes expelling “pro-Hamas activists” and preventing “men from participating in women’s sports.”
At last count, this post had over 400,000 likes.
Brittany, who is pregnant with her third child, faced immediate backlash for supporting Trump’s polarizing agenda.
“Patrick Mahomes, imagine being married to someone who doesn’t care about your rights and the rights of your children. Brittany Mahomes agrees with Project 2025 but instead marries a man with biracial children ‘s nigga, this is crazy, wrote.
Brittany Mahomes slams Trump-supporting haters
But the always outspoken woman didn’t sit idly by. She launched an attack on the “haters” who questioned her social media activity.
Brittany shared a post on her Instagram Story in response to the political criticism, writing: “As an adult, if you want to be a hater, you have to have some deep-seated issues that you’re starting from A refusal to address these issues since childhood.
She added: “Your brain is fully developed and there is no reason for you to hate seeing others doing well.”
So, to recap: Haters gonna hate, Brittany is not denying her support for Trump. After a few days, this became abundantly clear.
But why did you shrink back? Why put your opinion out there, defend your right to choose, and then take it back.
Brittany doubles down
Eventually, Brittany unliked Trump’s Instagram post. This has led many to speculate whether the whole thing was fabricated to make headlines.
That is, until a few days later. After posting an innocuous post on her own Instagram account promoting a new line of Abercrombie & Fitch Kansas City Chiefs merchandise, her comments section exploded.
There is a clear divide between those who pushed the Harris/Walz vote to her and those who supported her vote for Trump.
“Glad to see you’re not backing down. We are all entitled to our opinions and should not be bullied into submission,” one comment read – appearing to refer to the backlash she received last week for liking a Trump post. be opposed to.
According to Mahomes, Mahomes liked the comment but quickly deleted it TMZ.
Trump thanks Brittany for her support
Days later, Brittany’s actions were defended by the one person who might have made the situation worse: Donald Trump himself.
“I want to thank the beautiful Brittany Mahomes for defending me so fiercely,” the former president posted on Truth Social.
He went on to share a lot of the noise about our country’s impending “destruction,” along with his normal, scary comments, before turning to praise Britt.
“It’s nice to see someone who loves our country and wants to save it from Doom. What a great couple – see you at the Super Bowl!
After the presidential debate, Trump sent a message to Brittany. Taylor chose that moment after the debate to officially announce her support for Kamala Harris. When Trump was asked about the incident afterwards, instead of mocking Taytay, he applauded Brittany.
“If you want to know the truth, I actually prefer Mrs. Mahomes. She’s a huge Trump fan,” the Republican nominee told Fox News’ “Fox & friend”.
“She’s a huge MAGA fan. Much better than Taylor Swift.
Patrick Mahomes disagrees with his wife
Now, is this a bad look at her husband who is obviously supportive of Kamala Harris?
Patrick made headlines in April when he refused to endorse anyone in this year’s election.
“I don’t want to force anyone to vote for a certain president,” Patrick Mahomes told time magazine, instead encouraged fans to “make their voices heard” and conduct their own research on then-candidates Joe Biden and Trump.
Then again, maybe it’s another relationship she’s worried about.
Taylor distances herself from Brittany in Chiefs season opener
After Brittany’s comments caused an uproar online on September 5, fans were glued to their phones and saw two things:
One – Will Taylor be there for the Chiefs’ season opener? The second – will she sit with Brittany, like she often did last year.
The answer is: Yes, she did show up to the big game with a big smile and lots of energy, but no, she didn’t sit down with Brittany! In fact, the most important Chiefs player’s WAG actually sits in two different suites. Taylor spent the evening with Travis’ parents, while Brittany bonded with her daughter Sterling.
This moment raised many eyebrows and begged the question…
Will Brittany Mahomes’ support for Trump end her friendship with Taylor Swift?
Now, unless you were a Chiefs fan before Tavis was born, you probably don’t know much about Brittany.
But then Taylor started dating Travis Kelce…and going to his football games…and sitting in various luxury suites with Brittany…and now Mahomes as the superstar singer The friend gained fame and a certain celebrity status.
The two became very close last year. They usually sit together and watch games, and Taylor has even invited her out for a girls’ night out with besties like Selena Gomez and Blake Lively.
But modern politics can sometimes drive a wedge between even the closest of friends. Taylor finally announced her support for Kamala after so many of her fans already supported her.
Swifties for Kamala, a fan-run organization that hasn’t yet been endorsed by Taylor, has had a major moment, inviting Carole King to their virtual rally and raising $142,000 for the VP.
It’s really no surprise that Taylor supports Kamala. During the 2020 election, she supported Kamala and Joe Biden.
“I will be proud to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this year’s presidential election,” she shared at the time. “Under their leadership, I believe America has an opportunity to begin the healing process it so desperately needs.”
She noted that the ticket concerns issues that are important to her. “The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color should feel safe and represented, that women should have the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community should be recognized and included.”
She said the same thing in her statement about Kamala. So, what does Brittany mean to her?
Brittany and Taylor worked it out, at least on camera
Will politics end her friendship with Brittany?
To be honest, not really.
On the one hand, as the Chiefs’ two major swingmen, there should be no friction between them as the season is about to begin. Patrick and Travis couldn’t afford the distraction.
But the other thing, actually two weeks ago, was that both Patrick and Brittany were spotted at Taylor’s house in Rhode Island, enjoying the last vestiges of summer before real life starts back up.
Then, three days after the Chiefs’ season opener, Taylor and Travis had a double date with Patrick and Brittany at the U.S. Open in New York. The two couples were spotted cheering on the tennis pro, and Taylor was spotted all over Brittany on more than one occasion.
Yes, we’re talking about Brittany. Hug her, laugh with her, have a drink with her.
So everything seems fine on that front.
Maybe it all goes back to this little tidbit that Trump posted shortly after thanking Brittany for her support.
“Contrary to the tone of the world today,” she posted on social media, “you can disagree with someone and still love them. You can have a different perspective and still be kind.
Taylor is truly a people’s woman!
