Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift have been spotted together throughout the NFL season, supporting their partners Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. However, their dynamic changed during the Super Bowl at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Unlike previous games, where they sat side by side, the two were noticeably separated. Reports now suggest this was not by chance – Brittany was reportedly advised to keep her distance from Swift due to concerns about 47th U.S. President Donald Trump’s presence at the game.
Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift have been spotted together throughout the NFL season, supporting their partners Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. However, their dynamic changed during the Super Bowl at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Unlike previous games, where they sat side by side, the two were noticeably separated. Reports now suggest this was not by chance – Brittany was reportedly advised to keep her distance from Swift due to concerns about 47th U.S. President Donald Trump’s presence at the game.
According to DailyMail.com, those close to Mahomes feared a potential controversy if the two were seen together, particularly given Trump’s history of targeting Swift in public statements. The decision was made to avoid an unnecessary political distraction during the high-profile event.
Why Brittany Mahomes avoided Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl
Both Brittany and Swift faced backlash on Super Bowl Sunday. Swift was met with loud boos when she appeared on the jumbotron, while Brittany received criticism for posting on Instagram while the Chiefs struggled on the field. “Brittany kept her distance from Taylor because of Trump attending the game,” a source told DailyMail.com. “She was instructed to do so.”
Brittany’s previous engagement with Trump-related content added another layer to the situation. In August 2024, she liked a social media post outlining Trump’s policies, sparking backlash among liberal-leaning fans. While she never publicly endorsed him, the action raised questions about her political stance. Swift, on the other hand, has been outspoken about her support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, making any association between the two women a potential target for political controversy.
“That could have been a PR nightmare if the two were seated together when Taylor was booed,” the source continued. “And everyone was forewarned that Trump would likely reference Taylor in one way or another-and he did.” Following the Chiefs’ loss to the Eagles, Trump wasted no time mocking Swift on his Truth Social platform, writing: “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift… She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”
Trump’s remarks were consistent with his past criticisms of Swift. After she endorsed Kamala Harris, he posted, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” a statement that reportedly unsettled Mahomes.

Brittany Mahomes caught in political crossfire
Sources close to Mahomes believe Trump is using her as a tool to antagonize Swift. “Friends feel Trump uses Brittany and her husband Patrick to get to Taylor,” one insider revealed. “Although Brittany never vocally supported Trump, he is convinced by her actions and by the outspoken support of her family that she is very much a supporter. She has never denied it either,” the source added.
The growing political tension surrounding Brittany and Taylor’s friendship has reportedly led to greater caution in how they interact publicly. “Brittany is a pawn in Trump’s game to get into her circle,” the source explained. “Trump is well aware of their friendship, and he is very divisive. Any way he can take a cheap shot at Taylor, he will. This is likely why Brittany kept her distance.”
Despite their separation at the Super Bowl, Brittany and Swift appear to maintain their friendship outside of the stadium. Brittany attended Swift’s 35th birthday party and was seen with her at a pre-Super Bowl dinner alongside Mahomes and Kelce. On game night, Swift watched from a VIP suite with close friends, including the Haim sisters, rapper Ice Spice, and members of Kelce’s family. Meanwhile, Brittany was notably absent from that group, fueling speculation about whether the decision was entirely strategic.
One other absence from the event was actress Blake Lively, a close friend of Swift. Reports suggest her ongoing legal dispute with filmmaker Justin Baldoni may have influenced her decision to miss the game. While Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift have maintained their friendship, the increasing political attention surrounding them may continue to impact how they navigate public appearances together.
