Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes have been known to sit together at Kansas City Chiefs games, but that was not the case during Super Bowl LIX. Despite both attending the game at Caesars Superdome, the two were noticeably apart—allegedly because of Donald Trump’s presence.
According to sources cited by the Daily Mail, Mahomes was instructed to keep her distance from Swift, as those around her feared what Trump might say if they were seen together.
“Brittany kept her distance from Taylor because Trump was at the game,” a source claimed. “She was advised to avoid her.”
The decision may have been strategic, considering the reactions Swift and Mahomes faced during the event. Swift was loudly booed when shown on the stadium’s big screen, while Mahomes was criticized online for posting on Instagram as the Chiefs struggled against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Donald Trump’s History With Taylor Swift
Trump wasted no time commenting on the game’s events. Following the Chiefs’ defeat, he posted on Truth Social, saying, “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!”
The former president’s past remarks about Swift have fueled political tensions. Swift has openly supported Kamala Harris, a move that previously provoked Trump’s anger. He once wrote, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” after she endorsed the vice president.
This political divide has also affected Brittany Mahomes. While she has never openly supported Trump, many in her circle believe he sees her as a connection to Swift.
“Friends feel Trump uses Brittany and her husband Patrick to get to Taylor,” a source revealed. “He is convinced by her actions and the outspoken support of her family that she is on his side.”
Avoiding a Public Relations Disaster
The decision to keep Swift and Mahomes apart may have been a calculated move to prevent a public relations nightmare. An insider claimed that everyone involved knew Trump might reference Swift in some way—and he did.
“That could have been a PR disaster if the two were seated together when Taylor got booed,” the source explained. “Trump’s presence made the situation more delicate.”
The insider added that Mahomes has been distancing herself from Swift in public to avoid further controversy. “Brittany is a pawn in Trump’s game to get into her circle,” they said. “Trump is well aware of their friendship, and he is very divisive. Any way he can take a cheap shot at Taylor, he will.”
While Swift and Mahomes have not addressed the seating controversy, their decision to remain apart at Super Bowl LIX adds another layer to the ongoing tension between Swift and Trump.
