Insiders reveal why Brittany Mahomes wasn't in Taylor Swift's Super Bowl suite when singer was booed
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: Sources have revealed why Brittany Mahomes was noticeably absent from Taylor Swift's VIP section during the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, despite the two being frequent companions at past games.
While both were in attendance to support their partners Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who suffered a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, they notably sat in separate suites, unlike previous occasions.
Brittany Mahomes was 'instructed to' distance herself from Taylor Swift during Super Bowl LIX
According to insiders, there was a key reason behind this distancing. "Brittany kept her distance from Taylor because of Trump attending the game," a source explained to Daily Mail. "She was instructed to do so."
President Donald Trump was present at the Caesars Superdome to witness the 2025 Super Bowl, marking the first time a sitting US president has attended the event.
Sources say that the concern was that the MAGA spearhead's remarks could potentially spark a PR nightmare for both women, given the political and personal tensions between Trump and Swift.
"It was in both of their best interests, given Trump’s attendance and his past remarks about Taylor, that the two did not sit next to each other. That could have been a PR nightmare if the two were seated together when Taylor was booed," the tipster added.
This caution seemed to prove well-founded. During the game, Swift was loudly booed by the crowd after she appeared on the jumbotron.
Shortly after, Trump took to Truth Social to write, "The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!"
Trump's history with Swift has been contentious, especially after she publicly endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election. This led Trump to famously post "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" on social media, which reportedly "deeply bothered" Brittany.
Insiders say Brittany Mahomes' ties to Donald Trump could have been used to target Taylor Swift
A second insider revealed that those in Brittany Mahomes' inner circle feared that Donald Trump could use her and her husband, Patrick Mahomes, as a way to take "cheap shots" at Taylor Swift.
"Friends feel Trump uses Brittany and her husband Patrick to get to Taylor," the source said, adding, "Although Brittany never vocally supported Trump, he is convinced by her actions and by the outspoken support of her family that she is very much a supporter. She has never denied it either."
The insider also shed light on the dynamics at play, noting, "Brittany is a pawn in Trump's game to get into her circle. Trump is well aware of their friendship, and he is very divisive. Any way he can take a cheap shot at Taylor, he will. This is likely why Brittany kept her distance."
Brittany’s political leanings have been a topic of controversy in the past. In August 2024, she caused an uproar after liking a post on social media that detailed Trump's policies.
Internet reacts to claim that political tensions influenced Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes' Super Bowl seating
Readers of the Daily Mail had mixed reactions to the claim that Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift's Super Bowl sitting arrangement was influenced by possible political tensions.
One wrote, "I disagree. If Brit and Tay are friends this political difference should not divide them. That’s what’s wrong with this country. I remember when we got along fine with people of a different political opinion. It was a better place then."
Another added, "This is what happens when 'handlers' handle a friendship and the 'friends' decide to allow outsiders dictate their images because money and brands become the most important things. It would've been better to show that friends can have different viewpoints and still enjoy the game of football together. Of course, THAT doesn't jive with handlers and power players whose sole goal is to keep the country divided."
"Has our society turned into middle school or something? This is ridiculous. Why can’t people be friends if they have political differences?" asked a person, with someone else adding, "Maybe this is why President’s don’t usually attend the Super Bowl. This game didn’t need to turn into political theater."
"What's happened to everyone? Friendship used to be able to transcend political beliefs, religious beliefs, etc but now everyone seems to only want to talk to people who are exactly the same as them in every way. How boring and depressing," one more remarked.
An individual stated, "Taylor supported Brittany when liking trump wasn’t popular. She made it a point to be seen with Brittney to send a message that we can have different political views and still be friends. Disappointing if Brittney is too weak to do the same."
"So it was alright to go out to dinner together Friday night, but she wasn’t supposed to be seen with her Sunday. Friend?" a reader questioned.
