Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, long-time friends, have drifted apart, with sources attributing the distance to Gomez’s lack of interest in mingling with Swift’s other friends. According to an insider, “Selena feels like she has matured out of Taylor’s circle of friends. She has no desire to be out with Blake, or Ice Spice, or Brittany or really any of those girls.”

Swift’s star-studded circle includes Blake Lively, Ice Spice, and Brittany Mahomes, but Gomez, often absent from these gatherings, was notably missed at Swift's recent Rhode Island party. Gomez hinted at her feelings of exclusion with a sad comment on a Super Bowl photo featuring Swift and her friends. Reportedly, Gomez and Lively have never been seen together at Swift’s events, and their separate social circles are a point of contention. Additionally, both Gomez and Swift are focused on their romantic relationships—Gomez with musician Benny Blanco and Swift with Travis Kelce. Despite their separate paths, both are happy in each other’s happiness.

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes chose to sit apart for the Chiefs vs Ravens game this week, each opting for a different experience. Swift and Mahomes, who enjoyed time together at multiple games last season and in Amsterdam, were seen separately at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes, who recently expressed support for Donald Trump, preferred a "low key" suite experience with family, while Swift wanted a more lively, party-like atmosphere in the stands. 

Despite the different vibes, a source confirmed that there is no animosity between them. They spent time together before and after the game while waiting for their respective partners, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Mahomes shared a selfie with her daughter, while Swift was seen with Kelce's friends and family.

HBO's 'Real Time With Bill Maher' host Bill Maher joked that Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes sat apart at the Kansas City Chiefs game due to Mahomes' recent support for former president Donald Trump’s policies. Maher speculated that their differing political views might have influenced their seating arrangement, noting their previous habit of sitting together. "Don’t you think partisanship has gone too far?" Maher asked regarding a possible seating change.

Maher’s comments come after Mahomes faced backlash for liking a Donald Trump Instagram post outlining the '2024 GOP platform'. Mahomes defended herself on Instagram, suggesting that criticism reflects deeper personal issues and emphasizing the importance of kindness despite differing views. She also liked a comment supporting Trump and even Trump acknowledged her support on Truth Social.
