The Real Reason Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes Were Not Seen Together at the Super Bowl
During the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes—who have been seen together at previous games supporting their partners, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes—were noticeably not pictured together. The pair sat in separate suites, which raised questions among fans, especially given their close friendship in the past.
According to sources, the reason behind this public distancing was tied to the presence of President Donald Trump at the game. Brittany Mahomes, who has sparked controversy in the past for showing support for Trump on social media, was reportedly “instructed” to keep her distance from Taylor Swift’s section due to concerns over the potential for Trump to make negative comments about Taylor during the event.
Trump’s Influence and the PR Concerns
Trump’s presence at the game was seen as a potential PR minefield, as he has previously made derogatory remarks about Taylor Swift, especially after she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for President. Trump, who has a history of publicly criticizing Swift, took to Truth Social after the game to mock her, writing, “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!” This comment only added to the pressure surrounding the situation.
Sources indicated that given Brittany Mahomes’ past social media support for Trump, her presence near Taylor could have been seen as an endorsement, potentially creating a PR nightmare due to the polarizing nature of Trump’s remarks about Swift. According to one insider, “It was in both of their best interests, given Trump’s attendance and his past remarks about Taylor, that the two did not sit next to each other.”
Brittany’s Support for Trump and Taylor’s Political Stance
Brittany Mahomes, wife of Patrick Mahomes, had previously sparked backlash when she liked a post supporting Trump. While she never publicly endorsed Trump, her actions were interpreted by many as a sign of support. This created tension between her and some of her more liberal friends, including Taylor Swift, who has been vocal about her political views, especially in support of Democratic candidates.
In contrast, Taylor had publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2020 election and has made no secret of her opposition to many of Trump’s policies. However, sources claim that the two women’s personal relationship remained unaffected by their political differences, even if they were no longer seen together as much at public events like games.
A Missed Opportunity for a Public Display of Friendship
The absence of the duo together at the Super Bowl was noticeable, especially since they had been seen together at other events in the past year. They had been close friends, with Taylor even attending Brittany’s events, such as her birthday party and outings with their NFL partners. Yet the Super Bowl saw a shift, with Taylor surrounded by other close friends and family, including Ice Spice, the Haim sisters, and Machine Gun Kelly, while Brittany kept her distance.
Sources noted that this decision to separate was not a personal falling out between the two but rather a strategic move to avoid potential political fallout. The insiders confirmed that it was likely Trump’s involvement in the event that led to this decision, further highlighting the complex dynamics between celebrity friendships and the impact of political affiliations.
While Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes did not interact at the Super Bowl, their bond appears to remain intact, with both continuing to support each other’s personal lives despite the public and political pressures surrounding their friendship.
