The 2024 NFL season is now officially underway and once again, nearly as much attention is being paid to number-one Kansas City Chiefs fan Taylor Swift than the action on the field.
The Super Bowl champs opened their title defense with a nationally televised Thursday Night game against the Baltimore Ravens and there were plenty of shots of the pop music diva in the stands, but it was noticeable that she wasn’t sitting with BFF Brittany Mahomes.

The wife of superstar Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Swift, who has been involved in a highly publicized romance with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, were inseparable gal pals during last year’s games, but if Thursday night was any indication, something seems to have changed.
And that something could be named Donald J. Trump who Mrs. Mahomes infuriated many of her fellow Swifties – and likely the singer herself – when she expressed support for the GOP nominee in a social media post last month.
A former college soccer star and mother of two who is pregnant with the couple’s third child sat in a suite with daughter Sterling Skye to cheer on her husband’s gridiron heroics, while Swift took in the game from Kelce’s luxury box with the boorish player’s mom Donna.

The 29-year-old Mahomes first triggered leftists on August 13 when she liked Trump’s post on Instagram outlining the 2024 Republican Party platform, resulting in a swarm of haters reacting with the typically unhinged outrage when it comes to the former president.
She reacted to the backlash for committing the cardinal sin of having a different political opinion than the herd by defiantly responding to criticism on Instagram on August 23.
“I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” Mahomes wrote. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
“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!” Trump said in a Wednesday post to Truth Social, not likely making matters better with Swift and the haters.

Trump ruffled the feathers of Swifties when he suggested that their heroine could endorse him, something that isn’t likely to happen considering Swift’s history of uncomplimentary comments about the former president.
Despite any hard feelings that might exist between the two ladies, both Swift and Mahomes came away from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium happy with the Chiefs holding on for a 27-20 win in the season-opening thriller.
