The Backlash Against Taylor Swift Could Finally Catch Up With Her After US Open Outing With Brittany Mahomes Shakes Faith of Even the Most Loyal Swiftes

Taylor Swift might be one of the world’s biggest pop stars, but even she cannot escape the criticism that comes from some of her actions. Despite being known as a Democrat for years and expressing her objections to Donald Trump’s values, she has now landed in troubled waters for enveloping Brittany Mahomes, a Trump supporter, in a warm embrace at the US Open Men’s Singles final.

Swift has often been called out for some of her actions that do not seem to match the ideologies that she is known to stand for. Her uninhibited interaction with Mahomes is also one of those as many fans are taken aback by her behavior despite her claims that she does not support Trump.

Taylor Swift Displeases Fans with Her Friendly Behavior with Brittany Mahomes

It was assumed that after Britanny Mahomes supported Donald Trump by liking one of his Instagram posts with some rather contentious policies (via New York Post), Taylor Swift was keeping her distance from her. The two had opted for different seating at the opening NFL game which stirred rumors that there was a rift between the two.

All speculations about the issues between Swift and Mahomes were squashed when the two were photographed hugging at the US Men’s Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City on Sunday. However, things are not looking up for Swift as fans are not happy with her affection for Mahomes.

i don’t expect a billionaire to lead the revolution or anything i’m just confused as to why one would make a movie about standing up for what’s right at any cost only to literally never stand for anything again https://t.co/7cE0yrZiFM

as a swiftie, i agree with you. i can hear the other half of the fandom coming in attempt to silence you because they refuse to acknowledge when taylor associates herself with genuinely awful people 😭 it’s like a cult anymore.

taylor swift is just another morally corrupt rich person, none of this is surprising given the context, but SHE chose to make and release MA so forgive me if i expect her to gaf abt politics after she herself said it was her responsibility

After Swift and Mahomes sat separately at the NFL opening game stirring rumors of tension, an insider claimed to The Sun that it was not the case.

They are very good friends and they were so excited to go to the game, but they had different plans as it happens sometimes. Brittany is a family woman, and Taylor likes to enjoy the game sometimes like it’s a party. They felt like they were in a different vibe for the first game of the season.

The insider also alleged that they hung out before and after the game while they waited for their respective lovers. Reportedly, the Kansas City Current co-owner opted for a more “low-key” vibe for the first match of the season as she enjoyed it in a suite with her family and kids.

How Did Taylor Swift Become Friends with Brittany Mahomes?

Swift has been dating Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Travis Kelce for over a year now. They are often seen at each other’s gigs supporting each other openly. While Kelce has attended numerous Eras Tour concerts, Swift has also taken to attending matches to support her beau, despite showing no interest in the game before they began dating.

During last year’s NFL season, the Cruel Summer singer seemed to have developed a friendship with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is Kelce’s on and off-field best friend. They were attending the games together and Mahomes even posted pictures of them together on her official Instagram account.
