Brittany Mahomes defends Taylor Swift against NFL fan criticism

Taylor Swift performs during "The Eras Tour," Monday, Aug. 7, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Swift received six Grammy nominations on Friday.

In the world of sports and celebrity friendships, there are often unexpected alliances that form. One such bond that has recently caught the attention of NFL fans is the friendship between Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Brittany, known as a WAG (wife and girlfriend of professional athletes), has had enough of the negativity directed towards her newfound BFF. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she reposted a quote from Charles Barkley, where he called out those who criticize Taylor Swift, saying, 'If you're screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined [football], you're just a loser.' With an accompanying remark of 'Let. Them. Know.,' Brittany's message is clear - she stands by Taylor.

The defense of Taylor comes after a video went viral showing her leaving the Chiefs' recent game against the Baltimore Ravens. In the clip, a fan can be heard shouting, 'You're ruining football. You ruined football.' This incident prompted Brittany to speak up and support her friend.

It's no surprise that Brittany has formed a close bond with Taylor Swift, as their connection goes beyond their respective relationships with football. Taylor is dating Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes' best friend and teammate, which has brought the two women together. They have been spotted attending various Chiefs games together, even wearing matching AFC championship hats after a victory.

According to exclusive information from sources, Taylor will likely be joining Brittany in a suite for the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. This further emphasizes the closeness of their friendship. But it's not just about attending sports events together; the two have also been seen enjoying dinner dates and nights out with other friends, like Cara Delevigne and Lyndsay Bell.

Their friendship seems to be a genuine one, with birthday celebrations and holiday parties thrown into the mix. They have shared sweet snaps on social media, showcasing the camaraderie between their families. It's clear that Brittany and Taylor have formed a tight-knit bond that goes beyond their high-profile relationships.

Unfortunately, with fame comes criticism, and Brittany has had her fair share of negative comments thrown her way. In December 2023, she clapped back at online trolls via her Instagram Stories, addressing the sudden increase in rude remarks. Despite facing criticism, Brittany continues to proudly support Taylor and their friendship.

As the trolls grow louder, the support from Taylor has yet to be seen. She has not addressed the backlash her friend has received, nor has she spoken up in Brittany's defense. However, this doesn't diminish the significance of their friendship and the genuine connection they have formed.

In the world of sports and celebrity, unexpected friendships can develop, bridging the gap between different industries and fan bases. Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift have embraced their unique bond, showcasing that friendships can transcend career boundaries. While some may criticize, these two women stand strong together, supporting each other through the ups and downs of public scrutiny.
