Donald Trump is no stranger to being hungry for celebrity approval. Once he gets that, he doesn’t forget to acknowledge the support he received. And if the celebrity approval comes from Patrick Mahomes’ home, it’s like getting rain without requesting a cloud.

Last year, something similar happened when politics crashed into the Chiefs’ locker room as the US president praised Brittany Mahomes. The president’s comments led to endless chatter across social media.

Last year in September, Trump spoke glowingly about Brittany during a weekend interview with OutKick’s Clay Travis. Due to those remarks, the mom of three children got involved in a political firestorm.
But later, Trump posted on Truth Social, thanking “beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me” after she liked Instagram posts supporting his 2024 campaign. The controversy started when eagle-eyed fans noticed her activity on social media.
Brittany initially liked Trump’s post titled “The 2024 GOP Platform,” which featured 20 issues, including “the largest deportation operation in American history.” She later unliked the post but continued engaging with pro-Trump content.
Trump declared that “MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country.” He praised Brittany for wanting to save America from what he called “DOOM.”
The president told Travis he loves both Brittany and Patrick’s mother, calling them “so loyal” and “so great.” He specifically highlighted seeing Brittany be “so loyal and beautiful.”
Brittany fired back at critics on Instagram Stories, writing that haters “have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.” She defended her right to have differing views while remaining kind.
Pat stayed neutral throughout the controversy. The three-time Super Bowl champion just encouraged voters to do their own research.
The situation created tension in Chiefs Kingdom. Brittany’s friendship with Taylor Swift added another layer since the pop star endorsed Kamala Harris.

The uninvited political situation created tension as Swift endorsed Harris, writing on Instagram that she was voting for Harris “because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
Surely, fans were getting attracted to their brand, as it seemed to break down soon.
During the 2023 season, Swift and Brittany were often together at Chiefs games. They used to share the same suite, hugging, dancing, and cheering for their partners. But their split choice regarding political party had raised significant eyebrows.
Trump told Fox & Friends he liked Brittany “much better” than Swift, calling her “a big Trump fan.” IMDb Days later, he posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on Truth Social.
The attack reportedly left Brittany “shaken to the core” and reconsidering her Trump support, according to sources.
Despite their political differences, Swift and Brittany chose to remain friends, and they are still close today. Outside Travis Kelce’s family, Swift is emotionally connected to Mahomes’ family most, and such political disagreements haven’t been enough to affect their friendship.
