Are Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes friends?
Just as Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are BFFs, so too have Swift and Brittany Mahomes grown close. The two were first spotted together out to dinner in New York City the week after the singer attended her first Chiefs game. Then, Swift and Mahomes watched Kansas City play the Jets together from a box in MetLife Stadium that weekend for the first time.
Both women were present at several Chiefs games throughout the season, oftentimes celebrating besides each other and even debuting a handshake during Kansas City's win over the Chargers in late October. Swift also developed friendships with other women in relationships with Chiefs players, as many of them including Mahomes were seen leaving the pop star's New York home in early November.

The two have posted several photos with each other on social media since becoming friends as well. In early February before the Super Bowl, Mahomes also defended Swift publicly on Instagram when she was criticized by many who believed her presence drew attention from games.
Recently, their relationship was questioned as it came out Mahomes liked an Instagram post by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in August. Though she has not publicly endorsed any candidate this year, her social media activity is at odds with Swift's political history. The singer endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020 and recently did the same with Harris and Tim Walz ahead of the upcoming election.
However, speculation that Mahomes and Swift developed bad blood was put aside as the two attended the US Open men's final on a double date. They were seen hugging and smiling throughout the match. That being said, Swift has received criticism for continuing to associate with Mahomes amidst the singer's evident support of democratic candidates.

It's been a few weeks since the friends were rumored to be fighting by fans, but it seems like any tension has died down. At the very least, the pair looked happy to see each other ahead of Week 5's 'Monday Night Football' game between the Chiefs and New Orleans Saints. Swift's father even gave Brittany a hug.
