Explaining the saga of Taylor Swift bestie Brittany Mahomes coming out as a Trump supporter

There’s a lot of controversy right now surrounding Brittany Mahomes, the bestie of Taylor Swift and wife of Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, and her apparent support for Donald Trump as he campaigns to return as president. What started as a stray like has spiralled into something messier. Now Trump has done a lengthy post thanking Brittany Mahomes for her support and everyone wondering what on earth Taylor Swift thinks of her best mate engaging with pro Trump-Vance content, here’s a rundown of everything that’s happened in case you’ve missed the drama.

Brittany Mahomes liked one of Trump’s posts

Brittany Mahomes recently liked one of Trump’s posts on Instagram titled The 2024 GOP Platform. This post had around 20 items that Trump’s administration would bring to action if he wins the election, including one that says “seal the border” and “cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.”

Mahomes has since unliked the post.

Despite the fact the backlash saw Brittany Mahomes unlike the original post she was called out for, Mahomes then liked some comments supporting the Trump-Vance ticket.

After continuing to get called out, Brittany Mahomes posted on her Instagram story saying “I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”

Trump just made a statement thanking her for supporting him

In a statement posted to his Truth Social profile, Donald Trump thanks Brittany Mahomes and said “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country. With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION ravaging all Americans, and a world that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless “leaders,” it is nice to see someone who loves our country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!”

What’s Taylor Swift said about it

Err, nothing. Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes have become close friends since Taylor started dating Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Mahomes’ husband Patrick. They’ve been pictured together hanging out a lot, supporting the Chiefs when they play. It’s suspected that Brittany Mahomes’ apparent support for Trump might get in the way of her friendship with Taylor Swift, considering how vocal the latter has been against his politics.

In 2020, Taylor Swift directly tweeted Trump saying ““After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.”

On the other hand, Trump said of Swift in June during an interview with Variety: “She’s got a great star quality. She really does.

“I think she’s beautiful – very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually – unusually beautiful!”
