00:00With the press of a finger, Brittany Mahomes gave her haters another reason to dislike
00:04her. Her decision to seemingly out herself as a Donald Trump supporter had her playing
00:09defense when a multitude of people made it known that they aren't down with MAGA wags.
00:14Brittany's behavior especially upset Swifties, who were left wondering how the two women
00:18can possibly remain friends now. According to Fox News, the messy mayhem kicked off with
00:23Brittany seemingly liking a post on Trump's Instagram page. It listed some of the ex-president's
00:28plans for a potential second shot at running his country. Among them was conducting a record-breaking
00:34mass deportation and a push to keep students from being taught about systemic racism. His
00:39no-tax-on-tips policy was also there, but it might not benefit service industry workers
00:44when Brittany is their customer. A TikToker who once waited on the wealthy NFL wife accused
00:49her of leaving no tip.
00:51The condemnation of Brittany's soft-Trump endorsement was swift. Some appalled social
00:56media users were thinking about the futures of her and Patrick Mahomes' kids. One person
01:01tweeted,
01:02"'How do you vote for someone that you know is racist when you have biracial Black children?
01:06How?'
01:07Another person commented,
01:08"'Brittany Mahomes has always been brain-dead and it didn't start with who she's voting
01:13for. She's just genuinely unlikable, tone-deaf, and dumb as hell.'"
01:17Brittany didn't address the backlash directly, but did share a post on her Instagram story
01:21that was directed at her critics. Brittany Mahomes poured gasoline on the fire with a
01:25post suggesting that her critics' disgust was rooted in jealousy. It read,
01:29"'I mean, honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you
01:34refuse to heal from childhood. There's no reason your brain is fully developed and you
01:38hate to see others doing well.'"
01:40Meanwhile, there was speculation that Mahomes had just ruined her reputation in the eyes
01:44of Taylor Swift. While she hasn't backed a candidate in the 2024 presidential election,
01:50Swift was vocal in her opposition to Trump in 2020 and endorsed Joe Biden. Some ex-users
01:55believe that having opposing political views could drive a wedge between the singer and
01:59Mahomes, destroying their situational friendship that began when Swift started dating Kansas
02:03City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. One tweet read,
02:07"'Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift is never, ever getting back together with you.'"
02:11Other fans begged Swift to shun Mahomes. This is the chaotic social media environment Swift
02:16was met with when she returned home from the European leg of her heiress tour. But she
02:21ignored the drama and invited the Mahomes family to join her at her mansion in Rhode
02:25Island, per the Daily Mail.
02:26While Trump probably appreciates the support from Brittany, it's her friend's endorsement
02:30that he really wants. Curiously, when Trump boasted that he has Swift on his side in a
02:35post that included an AI image of the singer, she never condemned the move. Now, some ex-users
02:41are suggesting that she's secretly on Team MAGA, too.
02:44While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are remaining apolitical for now, Kelce's ex, Kayla Nicole,
02:48showed Kamala Harris some love on her Instagram story. As noted by the Daily Mail, Nicole
02:53shared the viral photo of Harris' great-niece, Amara, watching her auntie accept the Democratic
02:58nomination for president. The image was preceded by a post that could be construed in different
03:03ways. It read, quote,
03:04"'Life tip, stop expecting.'"
03:06The advice works for Swifties who want Swift to weigh in on the presidential election,
03:10and it could also be a shady message aimed at Brittany Mahomes.
03:13When Nicole was dating Kelce, she became good friends with Mahomes. The two women frequently
03:17hung out together, and Nicole even helped her bestie choose her wedding gown. So, it
03:21raised a few eyebrows when Nicole unfollowed Mahomes on Instagram in 2023. The move came
03:26after Mahomes and Swift attended their first NFL game together, so it looked like Nicole
03:31was severing her ties with Mahomes due to the WAGs' blossoming friendship with the performer.
03:35However, Nicole assured People that everything was good between her and Mahomes. She explained,
03:40"'I have to protect myself. That's really all that is. The love is still there.'"
03:44But will it remain there, now that she knows she and Mahomes are on opposite sides of the
03:48political aisle?
