Any speculation about bad blood between Taylor Swift and her best friend Brittany Mahomes was quickly squashed Saturday, less than 24 hours after the Chiefs quarterback’s wife sparked a backlash online.
Brittany, who has been married to Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes since 2022, sparked a liberal meltdown on Friday when she liked a Donald Trump post on social media.
The pregnant mother of two responded harshly to her critics, but many social media users feared what the controversy could mean for her budding friendship with Taylor.
The pop star, who formed a close bond with Brittany at her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Chiefs games throughout last NFL season, has publicly expressed her disdain for Trump and voted for his former rival Joe Biden in the past.
Fans were left wondering if the political controversy could be enough to cause their new friendship to fall apart on the eve of the new NFL season.

Social media users speculated whether Brittany Mahomes (left) and Taylor Swift’s friendship would survive the fallout from the Chiefs queen liking a post from Donald Trump (right).
However, it appears their friendship is strong enough to withstand Brittany’s newfound reputation, as the Mahomes joined the Anti-Hero hitmaker and Kelce in Rhode Island.
With their European tour under their belts and the NFL season approaching, Taylor and Travis are making the most of their time off with a much-needed romantic reunion – but only for “a fortnight”, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The power couple reunited for a late-summer getaway, spotted today on the balcony of the singer’s epic Rhode Island mansion.
The $17 million vacation home achieved celebrity status after becoming the site of Taylor’s legendary star-studded Independence Day parties.
Taylor has returned to her iconic vacation home for the first time this summer, now accompanied by her boyfriend. And it seems her friends and family, including Patrick, have joined them.
Patrick and Brittany got soaked the sun before the season, with the quarterback and tight end enduring a difficult preseason with three straight losses.
Taylor and Travis were spotted huddled around the Mahomes’ youngest son, Bronze, as his Super Bowl-winning father cradled him on the balcony of the lavish vacation home.
Travis’ brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie have joined the Chiefs’ star-studded lineup with their children as the latter continues to enjoy her first offseason back from retirement and ahead of her new television role with Amazon Prime, starting next month.

Although Brittany was not photographed alongside her husband and friends, it is expected that she joined the party as well.
Eagle-eyed Instagram users caught the soon-to-be mother of three liking a post by Trump outlining 16 of his policies for his 26.3 million followers — from immigration to the economy.
The comment sparked a lot of outrage among liberals on social media, and Brittany appeared to lash out at her critics with a fiery response.
“I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult you must have some deep-seated issues that you refuse to heal from childhood,” he wrote Friday night.
“There’s no reason you have to have a fully developed brain and hate seeing others do it well,” he added.
After Brittany’s like was discovered, it fueled rumors that Swift, a well-known liberal who publicly accused Trump of “fueling white supremacy” in 2020, would dump her fellow Chiefs WAG.
One wrote on X: ‘Well it looks like Brittany can forget about posting with Taylor Swift in the boxes from now on. This could seriously strain their relationship on TikTok.’
Another posted: ‘This season is gonna be awkward in stadium suites with Brittany and Taylor Swift.’

Brittany then responded to her critics, saying there is no reason why their brains are “fully developed.”
While one joked: ‘Brittany Mahomes… Taylor Swift will never get back with you.’
However, it seems Brittany won’t be facing any bad karma for her social media activity from her famous friend, and the singer has seemingly been able to put it behind her.
Brittany isn’t the only high-profile NFL-affiliated personality potentially endorsing Trump, as the former president was spotted with two Raiders players on Friday.
Former NFL running back Herschel Walker, best remembered for his time as a player with the Dallas Cowboys in the mid-to-late 1980s, is also a Trump supporter. Walker served as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition during the Trump administration.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa also came under fire in March for hanging out with Trump at UFC 299.
Brittany, who has been criticized in the past by the NFL fan community for being outspoken, was praised for liking Trump’s post by supporters of the former president on X.
But she also came under fire from Democratic-leaning voters.
