Why Wasn’t Brittany Mahomes in Taylor Swift’s Chiefs Box? Full details below

One game into the NFL season and there’s already WAG gossip for us to dish about. What a time to be alive. Last night, the Chiefs hosted the NFL kickoff game in Kansas City, which means that the most famous WAG in the world was there. Taylor Swift cheered on Travis Kelce in a suite alongside his mom, Donna. She also wore thigh-high leather boots and jean shorts, but we can’t get into that here.

Not in that suite was Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and someone who is frequently glued to Swift’s side at football games. She and Swift have struck up quite the friendship in the last year, and Mahomes has quickly made it into Swift’s inner circle. She got invited to girls night, they took their partners out for a double date, and most recently the Mahomes family went out to Rhode Island to hang out at Swift’s beach house. Things might be getting chilly between the two women, though.

Last month, Mahomes found herself in a sticky situation when it came out that she had liked one of Donald Trump’s Instagram posts. When people called her out for it, she called them “haters” who had “deep rooted issues [they] refuse to heal from childhood.” Perhaps because he noticed she was using his own rhetoric, Trump personally thanked Mahomes for her support in a post on Wednesday.

This is all to say, it’s not surprising that she and Swift weren’t sitting next to each other last night. Mahomes has been outed as a Trump fan, and Swift has a vaguely liberal-ish image to uphold.

Instead of buddying up with Swift, Mahomes and her daughter, Sterling, took in the game from a different suite. “Page Six” reported that after the game, Swift and Kelce attended an “intimate” after-party at a local Kansas City cocktail bar. Patrick Mahomes reportedly went, but it doesn’t seem like Brittany did. To be fair, she is pregnant and might not have wanted to hang out with a bunch of drunk football players late into the night.

A generous reading of the separate suites would be that Team Kelce and Team Mahomes each had their own suites for the first game of the season, and that’s why we didn’t see them together. Someone else might say that Mahomes’s days in the squad are coming to a close (at least publicly). Rest assured that I will be clocking where everyone sits next Sunday when the Bengals come to Kansas City.
