NFL fans were quick to point out the implicit racism, with some suggesting it was reminiscent of the lynching of black people in American history.
“Taylor’s friends said she and Travis found it incredibly disturbing,” an exclusive source revealed to DailyMail.com. “He’s talked to Brittany, who was really taken aback.”
Mahomes, 29, and the Chiefs have yet to comment on the mockery.

Taylor Swift reached out to Brittany Mahomes to support the pregnant star after her husband Patrick was apparently attacked by Buffalo Bills fans.
“I’m talking right now, that’s all,” Mahomes said in a news conference at the time.
He previously told reporters that “people have been making fun of him” his entire life because of the apparent resemblance between his voice and Kermit’s.
“I’ve gotten used to it, it’s like the joke that keeps on giving,” he said. —I’ve heard it all, jokes about Kermit the Frog or about smoking cigarettes.
“He’s unique, so maybe he’ll get a deal for having that unique voice.”
The source noted that the latest stunt was another reminder of the need to be “vigilant” after Mahomes and Kelce’s properties were targeted by thieves in October.
The raid on Kelce’s $6 million luxury home in Leawood, Kansas, took place the same day the Chiefs beat the New Orleans Saints in Arrowhead as Swift watched from the stands.
Meanwhile, Mahomes had jerseys, medals, trophies, awards and more stolen from his home in Belton, Missouri.
“Considering the recent robberies and then this stunt with Kermit happening shows everyone that they really need to be vigilant when it comes to their safety,” the source added.

‘Everyone would like to know who did this, and the pictures should reveal it. Not to press charges, so to speak, but simply to know that he was nothing more sinister than a joking Bills fan.
DailyMail.com previously revealed that Swift and Kelce have increased security following the raid at the NFL star’s home.
A source explained that Kelce has no plans to sell their property, but the couple “has spared no expense” when it comes to beefing up security.
“This was a calculated robbery and Taylor and Travis aren’t taking any chances,” the source said last week. “The intruders knew exactly when the house would be empty and could easily see that she was in the game he was playing.
‘They knew how much time they had to pull off the robbery based on when the game ended.
“After the game they stayed in a hotel and have since taken drastic measures, including a more advanced interior security system and reinforced locks, etc.”
A source told DailyMail.com: ‘Taylor’s friends said she and Travis found it incredibly disturbing. He talked to Brittany, who was really taken aback.
The source noted that the latest stunt was another reminder of the need to be “vigilant” after Mahomes and Kelce’s properties were targeted by thieves in October.
The situation was an unwanted reminder of Swift’s own brushes with intruders. In January, a man was arrested after trying to open the front door of his Manhattan home in New York City.
The source claimed that Swift was not the target of the assault on Kelce’s mansion.
“It was clear that the thieves weren’t after her, but they still took $20,000 from her house, which didn’t worry anyone,” they said.
“The fact that they were safe was the only thing that mattered to people.”
Swift and her family are said to feel safe when she is with the NFL champion.
“Taylor feels safe when she’s with Travis and he’s by her side,” the source added. ‘His family feels safe when he is with them.
And now you’ll both feel incredibly safe in your home because you also have 24-hour armed security to ensure nothing like this can happen again. They don’t skimp on expenses.
A second source added: “It’s sad that life has to be like this, but it’s such a normal way of life now that Taylor isn’t afraid.”
‘Are you upset that this happened to Travis? Sure, but she doesn’t feel in danger being in her house. There is never anything in the back of your mind that indicates a problem is brewing.
“In the meantime, they’re taking extra precautions, but Taylor feels very safe and that’s where her mental space is.”
Kelce’s $6 million property in Kansas (pictured) was hit by burglars on October 7
Kelce lost $100,000 in jewelry and the jersey he wore in his first Super Bowl in 2020 when thieves ransacked his home.
It was initially reported that $20,000 in cash was stolen from his $6 million property, while his back door was also damaged.
Mahomes addressed the theft at a news conference last week, but said he could not discuss details due to the ongoing investigation.
“I mean, it’s obviously frustrating,” he said. ‘It’s disappointing. … Obviously something you don’t want to happen to anyone except yourself.”
An FBI spokesperson would not confirm or deny the existence of the reported investigations when contacted by DailyMail.com.
But his involvement in the case reportedly suggests this is not a local robbery spree but could involve organized crime crossing state lines.
Mahomes and Kelce live in the Kansas City suburbs, both about a half hour from Arrowhead Stadium.
