Taylor Swift Embraces Brittany Mahomes at the US Open Amid Friendship Breakup Rumors

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were back to their old selves at the US Open.

The pair’s well-documented friendship has been called into question since Mahomes was accused of liking a pro-Trump post on Instagram late last month. Despite allegedly deleting the “like,” Brittany appeared to doubled-down on her political views while calling out her “haters” on Instagram, leading many Swifties to predict the pop star would cut the NFL WAG out of her inner circle—especially after the pair sat separately at the first Kansas City Chiefs game of the season on September 5.

Now, it seems those fan theories have been debunked. On September 8, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes joined TNT at the US Open, where Taylor and Brittany were photographed embracing each other like besties, with the pop star taking a moment to snap a photo of Brittany and Travis. In one fan-recorded video they were even seen bringing back their usual dance moves.

These images appear to match the energy Taylor and Brittany brought to last year’s NFL season, where they would celebrate their partners athletic prowess with secret handshakes and matching game-day fits.

At this point, Taylor Swift has not officially endorsed either 2024 presidential candidate, though she previously threw her support behind President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris back in 2020 after expressing regret for not speaking out against Trump in 2016. “@TaylorSwift—Thanks for your support and for speaking out at this crucial moment in our nation’s history,” Biden responded to Swift’s endorsement the last time around. “Election Day is right around the corner—are you ready for it?”

No matter what AI images Donald Trump shares online, there’s no evidence that Taylor Swift has changed her views in the past four years, though many fans are furious and disappointed that the influential singer appears to be aligning herself with someone Trump thanked personally for their support.

“I love Taylor and I don’t believe she supports #that man, but I hate that she’s photographed being friendly with Brittany,” one fan posted on X.com. “Taylor could have chosen to not have any photos with her btw—they were on opposite sides of the suite.”

For now, the only group Taylor Swift has endorsed are the Kansas City Chiefs & co.
