NFL fans called her \u201cannoying\u201d for cheering too loudly at her husband\u2019s games, criticizing the referees and allegedly being rude to stadium employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">When Swift started dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, though, she and Brittany became fast friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It wasn\u2019t until last week that Swift\u2019s adoring fan base became furious with her new gal pal. Mahomes was caught \u2018liking\u2019 an Instagram post that listed Trump\u2019s new policy platform for the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After all, supporting Trump is the cardinal sin for anyone even mildly famous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Swifties demanded Taylor disavow or distance herself from Mahomes and, at first, it seemed she was caving. At the Chiefs season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, Swift and Mahomes sat apart from one another in separate suites. However, the Daily Mail was told exclusively that the pair celebrated together after the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And just a few days later, the BFFs were spotted smiling and embracing next to their respective beaus at the US Open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Swifties immediately started melting down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cI have genuinely never been so disgusted in Taylor,\u201d one fan tweeted. \u201cHer spineless ass needs to stop this shit now.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-b46ddd239af1eb92\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/09\/10\/14\/89490091-13834129-image-m-5_1725975761948.jpg\" alt=\"Amber Duke says she has 'to give her credit for standing by her friend.

In our current toxic political culture, it\u2019s incredibly refreshing to see a celebrity be buddies with someone on the other side of the political spectrum&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Another asserted that Swift is \u201crevealing herself to be the spineless b**** she condemns in her music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As much as I find myself annoyed by Swift\u2019s seeming inability to mature past the age she got famous and her incessant desire to play the victim, I have to give her credit for standing by her friend. In our current toxic political culture, it\u2019s incredibly refreshing to see a celebrity be buddies with someone on the other side of the political spectrum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sorry, woke mob, but it\u2019s actually healthy to have relationships with people you disagree with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While the Biden administration encouraged us to argue with our \u201ccrazy MAGA\u201d family members at Thanksgiving last year, Swift is reminding everyone that it used to be normal for relationships to be bigger than politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is understandable why her fans are confused and angry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Swift made a big show of \u2018coming out\u2019 politically in her documentary Miss Americana. In the film, she argues with her dad about supporting Democrats and ultimately decides she needs to be on the \u201cright side of history.\u201d In the 2018 midterms, Swift endorsed Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper. In 2020, she accused Trump of \u201cstoking the fires of white supremacy\u201d and endorsed his rival, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Contrary to popular opinion, though, Swift\u2019s big political reveal didn\u2019t affect much. Bredesen lost to Marsha Blackburn and Biden was already polling ahead of Trump before Swift endorsed him in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Swifties might feel like their feminist queen pulled a bait-and-switch. But it\u2019s been four years since Swift last spoke out and she is fresh out of a six-year-long relationship. Surely her views have changed somewhat. Or, at the very least, she no longer makes politics such an important part of her life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Fans were similarly angry when Swift chose not to respond to Trump posting an AI image suggesting she has endorsed him last month. She also said nothing when her boyfriend Travis called his teammate Harrison Butker a \u201cgreat person\u201d as liberal women raged over the kicker\u2019s graduation speech at a conservative Catholic college.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-fc64d9f8b347a58a\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/09\/10\/14\/89490021-13834129-image-a-3_1725975709848.jpg\" alt=\"But just a few days later, the BFFs were spotted smiling and embracing next to their respective beaus at the US Open\" width=\"634\" height=\"421\" data-gallery-handler-attached=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imageCount-2Mnr9\"><span class=\"plusSign-1IpQy\">+<\/span>5<\/div>\n<div class=\"viewGalleryText-2XMcO\">View gallery<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-3zJLP horizontal-1eH9F\">\n<ul class=\"linksHolder-3KBa2\">\n<li class=\"linkItem-2NXrW shareIcon-8A2dW\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">But just a few days later, the BFFs were spotted smiling and embracing next to their respective beaus at the US Open<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-1ae157d8074a78b8\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/09\/10\/14\/89490715-13834129-image-a-14_1725976061688.jpg\" alt=\"Swifties immediately started melting down. \u00bfI have genuinely never been so disgusted in Taylor,\u00bf one fan tweeted. \u00bfHer spineless ass needs to stop this shit now.\u00bf\" width=\"634\" height=\"461\" data-gallery-handler-attached=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imageCount-2Mnr9\"><span class=\"plusSign-1IpQy\">+<\/span>5<\/div>\n<div class=\"viewGalleryText-2XMcO\">View gallery<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-3zJLP vertical-2XJd5\">\n<ul class=\"linksHolder-3KBa2\">\n<li class=\"linkItem-2NXrW shareIcon-8A2dW\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Swifties immediately started melting down. \u201cI have genuinely never been so disgusted in Taylor,\u201d one fan tweeted. \u201cHer spineless ass needs to stop this shit now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Swift threw a birthday party for fellow actress Blake Lively amid backlash over a resurfaced clip of Lively being unkind during a tense interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Taylor has made clear, however, that she is no longer interested in being bossed around by her fans or her parents. In her latest album, she refers to people who make demands of her as \u201cjudgmental creeps\u201d who are \u201csanctimoniously performing soliloquies I&#8217;ll never see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In short, buzz off, losers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">By standing by Mahomes, Swift has finally done something truly worthy of our respect. But sadly, in today\u2019s world, you don\u2019t always get rewarded for doing the right thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Even if Swift ultimately endorses Harris, it\u2019s unlikely her young, liberal fan base will forget that she dared to hug a Republican.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Taylor Swift\u00a0is just months away from concluding her year-and-a-half long Eras Tour, which has shattered attendance records and become the highest grossing tour of all time.
