Why Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes sat separately at Chiefs’ season opener
It seems there’s no bad blood between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes.
Days after Swift, 34, and Mahomes, 29, took in the Chiefs’ season opener at Arrowhead Stadium separately, a source told The Sun there’s “zero tension” between the two amid speculation of discord over politics, as the wife of star Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently “liked” a social media post from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“They are very good friends and they were so excited to go to the game, but they had different plans as it happens sometimes,” a source told the outlet Saturday.

“Brittany is a family woman, and Taylor likes to enjoy the game sometimes like it’s a party. They felt like they were in a different vibe for the first game of the season.”
Swift, who has been dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for more than a year, watched the Chiefs’ 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday in a suite with the three-time Super Bowl champion’s loved ones, including parents Donna and Ed Kelce.
Mahomes, who is pregnant and expecting her third child with the star Chiefs quarterback, was seen with 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye on the sidelines before kickoff.

The Sun’s insider alleges Swift and Mahomes “did hang out for a bit before and after the game while waiting for Patrick and Travis.”
Swift and Mahomes watched several Chiefs games together last season as the 14-time Grammy winner’s romance with Kelce, 34, continued to blossom.
The Mahomes couple even supported Swift in Europe as she completed the international leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour.

Last month, the soon-to-be mom-of-three found herself at the center of headlines for double-tapping an Instagram post centered on Trump’s 2024 campaign platform that called attention to controversial topics.
In the wake of the backlash, Mahomes slammed “haters” in a social media message.
Trump thanked Mahomes for her support on Wednesday.
Mahomes and Swift, who supported President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, are said to “love and respect each other a lot.”
“They were just wanting a different kind of vibe for the first game of the season at home,” the source said.
The Chiefs, seeking a Super Bowl three-peat, will host the Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium next Sunday.
