![Taylor Swift Brittany Mahomes]()
Brittany gonna choose Taylor over Trump?
Of course it's no surprise that former President Donald Trump isn't a big fan of
Taylor Swift. The pop superstar endorsed his opponent Joe Biden in 2020, and last week she again threw her hat into the political ring with an endorsement of the Democrat candidate in the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The endorsement was one that Swifties (and Kamala supporters) had been hoping for, especially after the
controversy surrounding Taylor's friendship with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Brittany and Taylor became friends during the last NFL season when Swift began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The two were frequently seen hanging out together at games, and even spending time partying away from the field.
But Swifties recently began calling for Swift to dump her friend after Brittany liked a post from Trump on Instagram, along with some pro-Trump comments on her own post. The former president also recently thanked Mahomes for her support:

Her fans were celebrating after Brittany and Taylor didn't sit together at the Chiefs opening game last week, but any hopes that Swift had ended the friendship were quickly dashed this weekend when the two were spotted hugging at the US Open, and even going to dinner together afterwards.
Of course Taylor's endorsement of Kamala wasn't exactly a surprise, so it's not like Brittany didn't know that her friend had different political views than she does.
But regardless, in this hyper-political society, everybody's expected to pick a side.
And it's no surprise which side Trump himself is on.
During an appearance on Fox News last week, Trump was asked about Taylor's endorsement of Kamala Harris, and it's not surprising that he's more of a Brittany Mahomes kind of guy:
"I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She's a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. You couldn't possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn't possibly endorse him. But she's a very liberal person, she seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.
But no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany's great. We got a lot of news last week, she's a big MAGA fan, that's the one I like much better than Taylor Swift."
And the GOP nominee also had high praise for Brittany's husband:
"The wife of the great quarterback. And he is a great quarterback.
I think she's terrific."

Then yesterday morning, Trump posted again (seemingly out of the blue) about the pop star, simply saying he "hated" Taylor Swift.

Well apparently, despite his praise for Brittany, she might be questioning her support for the former president over his attacks on her friend.
According to a report by the
Daily Mail, a "source" revealed that the quarterback's wife was bothered by Trump's attack on Swift:
"She is questioning her support for Donald Trump after he lashed out at Taylor, saying he hates her...
This deeply bothered Brittany because Taylor is like a sister to her and she has done absolutely nothing wrong. She didn't mention Trump in her post and is allowed to speak her mind.
She does not believe in hate in any form and loves Taylor so much. This shook her to the core."
But the source also said that Brittany may not be ready to vote for his opponent just yet:
"This doesn't mean she is suddenly voting Kamala. It has just made her more aware of supporting him so publicly."
Can we just get this election over with already so we can stop talking about this stuff?
