Trump Sends Message to Brittany Mahomes After Taylor Swift Endorses Harris

Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris following the September 10 debate between her and former President Trump. While Swift endorsed President Biden and Harris four years ago, even some of her most devoted fans questioned her political allegiance amid her friendship with Brittany Mahomes.

Over the past several weeks, Brittany, who’s married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, liked a post on Trump’s Instagram post that outlined his 2024 platform, and a comment on her own Instagram post that read, “TRUMP-VANCE 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.”

Following Swift’s endorsement, in which she called out Trump for “spreading misinformation,” and called Harris “a steady-handed, gifted leader,” Trump sent a strong message to Brittany when asked on “Fox & Friends” about Swift’s endorsement of his rival.

“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth,” Trump said on September 11. “She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time.”

“It was just a question of time,” Trump continued. “You couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn’t endorse him. But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.

“But no, I liked Brittany. I think Brittany’s great. … She’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift. … Wife of the great quarterback. I think she’s terrific,” he said.

Swift and Brittany grew close after Swift started dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2023. Brittany has not publicly announced an official endorsement for Trump and unliked his posts after they drew attention.

Donald Trump Thanked Brittany Mahomes for ‘Defending’ Him on Social Media

Wednesday’s Fox News appearance was not the first time Trump had spoken about Brittany, 29. He gave her a big shout-out on Truth Social on September 4. Trump posted, “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country.

“With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!”

As for Mahomes, he’s never publicly endorsed a presidential candidate and has no plans to do so in 2024. The three-time Super Bowl MVP told TIME in an interview published in April, “I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain President. I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.”
