In the hours after the Chiefs won their season opener in Kansas City, Brittany Mahomes was brutally mocked on social media after bestie Taylor Swift attended the game – but sat without the winning quarterback’s wife.
Mahomes and Swift have been pictured in suites together on several occasions cheering on Brittany’s husband Patrick Mahomes and Swift’s year-long boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
On Thursday night, Swift was sat next to her new bestie Chariah Gordon – fiancee of another Chiefs star in Mecole Hardman – with other members of the Kelce family filling up the suite. In another suite, Brittany Mahomes watched on with her daughter Sterling Skye.
Swift and Mahomes were inseparable at games last season, with a new year bringing a noteworthy spilt from their tradition, filled with personalized elaborate handshakes and lots of support.
Any divide between the Chiefs WAGs comes shortly after Mahomes endorsed Donald Trump for President. In the past, Swift has been a vocal critic of Trump’s.
Trump is running his third campaign for President, securing the Republican nomination in each attempt, with his adversaries viewing his policies and messaging as becoming more divisive with time.
Swift has previously endorsed Trump’s rivals, while also accusing him of ‘stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism’, ‘feigning moral superiority’ and ‘threatening violence’.
Although Swift has not endorsed Trump’s opponent for President directly, Kamala Harris, her past and present speak for itself.
Brittany appears to be in favor of the Republican candidate with the former President taking to Truth Social to thank her for her support earlier this week.
‘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,’ he said.
Brittany Mahomes’ time in the spotlight has not been pristine prior to her friendship with Swift. She’s been called out in the past for blasting the referees after the Chiefs lose games.
Last season, the Kansas City WAG was slammed after she was filmed opening a bottle of champagne in the stands at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium and spraying it on unsuspecting fans sitting below her in freezing temperatures.
Swift was spotted leaving Arrowhead Stadium hand-in-hand with Kelce, days after his representatives denied that they have plans to split later this month after a document written on the headed paper of his US PR company was spread online
The paperwork, which appears to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, reveals a strategy to make their split, and says the date for an announcement is September 28.
Laying out what the statement would say, they write: ‘Example: Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other’s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time.’
The paperwork, which first leaked on Reddit, outlined a plan to release an official statement at the end of this month – three days ‘post-break up’ to ‘allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity’.
Kelce appeared as a guest on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ a few hours before his lawyers had to deny plans for a split, lovingly calling Swift ‘Tay Tay’, blindsiding everyone involved for alleged trouble in paradise.
If there’s any trouble, it appears to be with Swift and Brittany Mahomes, as the 14-time Grammy winner was sure to know her opting for Gordon beside her would not go unnoticed.
Gordon is the fiancé of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who Swift ran onto the field and hugged after he caught the game-winning touchdown catch in last season’s Super Bowl victory.
One of the earliest images of Kelce and Swift as a couple to surface was at a Halloween party with Swift kissing Kelce’s cheek next to Gordon and Hardman.
The Chiefs improved to 11-3 overall with Swift in attendance after last night’s win. She attended 13 games last season and is expected at several more in upcoming weeks.
Swift’s schedule has opened up due to her European leg of the ‘Eras Tour’ wrapping last month. It does not restart until mid-November in Canada.
Whether or not any future appearances at Chiefs games will come with old bestie Mahomes sitting next to her is now in question, as opposed to being a forgone conclusion before Thursday’s game.
Swift attended all four Chiefs playoff victories last season in different cities. She sported a No 87 bomber jacket designed by fellow NFL WAG Kristin Juszczyk during the Wild Card game against Miami.
Jason and Kylie Kelce met Swift during the Chiefs Divisional round victory over the Buffalo Bills, the same game where Jason jumped out of the family’s suite shirtless and chugged a beer.
And after being on the field for post-game celebrations in Baltimore after the AFC Championship Game, she hastily flew back to America after the Japanese leg of shows to attend the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Kelce has repaid the favor by attending his girlfriend’s concerts in Argentina, Singapore, Australia, and Amsterdam.
The Mahomes duo joined Kelce for the show in The Netherlands a month before Brittany’s endorsement of Trump.
