Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has never shied away from controversy. From her outspoken defense of her husband’s team to moments of questionable behavior in the public eye, Brittany has consistently found herself in the hot seat.
The popular WAG’s latest controversy is political in nature. After liking a post on Instagram by former President Donald Trump, Brittany triggered a wave of backlash, particularly from liberal fans and die-hard followers of her best friend, pop superstar Taylor Swift.
The post, which laid out Trump’s political policies ahead of the upcoming Presidential election, appeared to confirm Brittany’s political leanings. For Swift’s devoted fanbase, many of whom lean left, this endorsement has left a bitter taste.
This incident only adds to Brittany’s long list of controversies. Known for her bold opinions on social media, she’s often rubbed NFL fans the wrong way. In 2021, she caused a stir after blasting referees on Twitter during a Chiefs game, saying, “Refs are never in our favor.” When faced with backlash, she doubled down with, “I said what I said. Y’all so mad.”
Brittany jumps from one controversy to another
And who could forget her infamous champagne spray? After the Chiefs’ playoff victory against the Buffalo Bills, Brittany celebrated by spraying champagne from her suite onto unsuspecting fans below, leading to a flood of criticism.
Instead of apologizing, she attempted to flip the script by launching an anti-bullying campaign with “Team Brittany” T-shirts. However, this move only fueled further criticism, with many seeing it as a tone-deaf response to the incident.
Despite her rocky history in the public eye, Brittany’s friendship with Taylor Swift offered her a reprieve last year. She became a fixture in Swift’s girl squad, joining the likes of Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, and Selena Gomez.
Together, they were spotted at Chiefs games and enjoying nights out. But just as she seemed to be riding high on her new-found bestie status, Brittany’s latest political move has left some questioning the authenticity of her friendship with Swift.
Even her friendship with Taylor Swift is in doubt
A source recently claimed, “Brittany is only acting like Taylor’s BFF because she is desperate to be known. She has wanted to be relevant for so long and finally found her in.” Another insider added, “She has too many red flags and people are starting to see through her fake and b*tchy persona.”
As the new NFL season looms and Donald Trump’s election campaign heats up, all eyes are on Brittany Mahomes. Will her friendship with Taylor survive the political rift? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure – Brittany’s never far from the headlines, whether for the right or wrong reasons.
Still, Brittany remains unfazed by the criticism, saying this week, “Honestly, I don’t give a f*ck what people have to say about me anymore.” She credits her husband, Patrick, for helping her adopt this mindset: “The main thing he always told me is to stop caring what people think – especially the people that don’t even know you.”
Brittany Mahomes is no stranger to controversy, and it’s clear she won’t be backing down anytime soon. With the NFL season and the Presidential election on the horizon, expect her to be front and center in both the sports and political worlds – for better or worse.
