Taylor Swift Caught in Between as Donald Trump and Brittany Mahomes Share Their Admiration for Each Other

Published 09/04/2024, 11:42 PM EDT

With the US Presidential Elections just around the corner, the celeb squad is picking sides, whether subtly or boldly! Taylor Swift may have hit pause on her political chatter this year, but that has not stopped her ever-passionate fanbase from sitting it out. Meanwhile, Brittany Mahomes, Swift’s NFL bestie, found herself diving into the political whirlpool, but on the opposite side of where Swift has traditionally stood. As Mahomes and former President Donald Trump bonded over mutual admiration, Swift found herself more like the fork in the road—taking neither side directly, unlike her fans.

Especially when Trump started praising Mahomes for defending him, Swifties definitely took notice and were not about to let it slide.

Brittany Mahomes recently started a storm by liking an Instagram post from former President Donald Trump. The post, which outlined Trump’s political policies, sparked a major backlash, especially from liberal fans and die-hard Taylor Swift fans. For Swift’s fanbase, many of whom lean Democratic, Mahomes' apparent support for Trump did not sit well. Things escalated even further when Trump publicly thanked Mahomes on social media for “defending him,” leaving Swift’s supporters even more riled up.

Trump commended Mahomes for her vision of trying to save the United States from "DOOM." He also gave a shout-out to the “great couple,” referring to Patrick Mahomes and his wife, and wrapped it up with, “See you both at the Super Bowl!” While the post made Mahomes’ political stance crystal clear, it left many Swift fans uneasy. Despite Swift staying out of the political spotlight this year, her well-known stance made the situation all the more uncomfortable for her supporters.
