With Brittany Mahomes caught in the middle in a beef between her friend – Taylor Swift, and her presidential candidate of choice – Donald Trump, the wife of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story.
As the November election approaches, political tension in the United States is at some of the highest it’s ever been in the country’s history.
It’s become so divisive that some believed that a wedge would be driven in the friendship between Swift and Brittany Mahomes.
Seemingly unprompted, Brittany took to her Instagram story on Thursday and posted a quote from another account.
The quote read, ‘Be the reason why people believe in beautiful souls, kind hearts, and good energy. Never stop being a good person.’
Despite their differing political opinions, it appears that Brittany and Taylor remain friends, with DailyMail.com sources reporting previously that there’s no bad blood between the two.
Another source exclusively told DailyMail.com that they ‘respect that they have different views’ and have made a ‘pact’ to avoid discussing politics in August.
The crux of the situation came in mid-September, when Swift publicly endorsed Harris for president after a debate between the Vice President and former President Trump.
That led to Trump posting on his Truth Social account: ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ in all capital letters.
Swift’s endorsement post garnered over 11million likes on Instagram and reportedly led to over 330,000 visits to Vote.gov, a federal voter registration site that Swift linked to in her post.
Trump had criticized Swift before his ‘HATE’ post, saying that he likes ‘Mrs. Mahomes much better’ – referencing Brittany.
It’s been inferred that Brittany is a supporter of Trump’s after she ‘liked’ a post from his campaign’s Instagram account – leading to reactions from both sides of the aisle.
Rumors of a split grew further the more that Swift showed up to Kansas City Chiefs games, as she hasn’t been seen with Mahomes in the luxury box.
However, the two have attended various social gatherings together – including Patrick Mahomes’ 29th birthday party as well as the US Open men’s singles tennis final in the beginning of September.
Tension in the country surrounding the election has been highlighted by two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.
First, Trump was shot in the ear back on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. His injuries were non-life-threatening, but a man on the crowd – 50-year-old Corey Comperatore – was killed. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was ultimately killed by Secret Service snipers.
In September, a second failed assassination occurred when Ryan Wesley Routh was found and arrested outside Trump’s club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The former President was not harmed.
As for Swift, it’s been a few Sundays since she’s appeared for an NFL game that her beau, Travis Kelce, was playing in.
She missed Week 3’s Sunday Night Football contest in Atlanta and then missed Week 4’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Swift has only attended home games so far this season – so it’s possible that she could be at Arrowhead Stadium when the Chiefs host the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
