Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes appeared to keep their distance once again at Arrowhead Stadium for most of Monday night, after being nearly inseparable at Chiefs games last season.
Swift and Mahomes have, in recent weeks, supported different candidates for next month’s presidential election. Mahomes has made no secret that he wants Donald Trump to win, while Swift has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris.
Pictures emerged on social media that appeared to show them hugging before the game began before going their separate ways. But after watching so many games together on the Chiefs’ run to Super Bowl glory last year, they still have to sit together for long periods of time to cheer on the team this time around.
Swift, in her first Chiefs game in more than two weeks, was seen sitting with her father, Scott, Kelce’s father, Ed, and Kylie Kelce, wife of Travis’s brother, Jason, as well as several of Travis’s friends. Brittany was not seen with them until much later in the game, despite having watched multiple Chiefs games with Swift last season both at Arrowhead and on the road.
The Chiefs quarterback’s pregnant wife shared a photo of the game day outfit on Instagram before the game, wearing a red leather jacket and pants.

Swift and Mahomes were separated in the season opener when the Chiefs hosted the Baltimore Ravens.
That night, Swift took her usual spot in Kelce’s luxurious suite alongside the tight end’s family and friends. She was captured sitting next to Kelce’s parents, Ed and Donna, in the first half.
Meanwhile, Mahomes was sitting with her daughter Sterling Skye in a different suite as she cheered on her husband.
Shortly after that game, Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in next month’s election with a statement directly at odds with her friend Brittany, who had liked multiple posts and comments on social media supporting Donald Trump’s victory.
It caught the attention of Trump himself, who wrote in Truth Social: “I want to thank the beautiful Brittany Mahomes for standing up for me so strongly and the fact that MAGA is the largest and most powerful political movement in the history of our now-failed country.” .’
Mahomes and Swift formed a close bond last season and often watched Chiefs games together both in Kansas City and on the road.
For a game last October against the Los Angeles Chargers, they even seemed to come up with a celebratory handshake when the Chiefs scored a touchdown.
It made the distance between them in the Ravens game even more surprising. But the following week, Kelce, Swift and the Mahomes were all together in a box for the US Open men’s final in New York.

Despite their apparent political differences, sources recently revealed to DailyMail.com that Taylor and Brittany specifically implemented measures to protect their friendship even as fans predicted huge fallout after their support for Trump became public.
“Taylor is not going to be part of this anti-Britain narrative because they have made a pact not to talk politics,” the sources said, adding that the couple would “respect that they have different views.”
The source claimed that “Brittany knew not to talk politics” at a recent party Taylor hosted for Blake Lively at her Rhode Island mansion, as she didn’t want to “risk a confrontation over opposing views.”
According to the source, Taylor’s Eras Tour opened her eyes to the fact that she has millions of fans who don’t all share the same views, and she has learned to respect that.
