Brittany Mahomes remains untouchable among NFL WAGs as Taylor Swift sits in separate suite at NFL season opener
Insiders claimed that because Brittany Mahomes' fellow NFL WAGs are too afraid to "cross her," they have not questioned her support for Donald Trump. A source discussed how the incident affected Brittany's standing as Taylor Swift was seen watching the Chiefs defeat the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 in a separate suite on Thursday, September 5 night.
The insider stated that since Patrick Mahomes' success has made Brittany untouchable and no one wants to "ruffle any feathers" with the quarterback, none of her football friends intend to challenge the mother-of-two about her political viewpoint. "Patrick is still the darling of the NFL, and as long as he continues to win, no matter what his family does - from Brittany to his brother, and his dad - Patrick will be fine," dished the tipster.
Former CNN host Don Lemon urges Taylor Swift to endorse Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris
Don Lemon has urged Taylor Swift to publicly endorse Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. The ousted CNN host made his appeal while strolling through Greenwich Village in New York City on Friday, September 5. He was hoping that Swift's support would persuade younger voters to back Harris in November.
In Lemon's opinion, Swift must reaffirm her political allegiances because time is important. "Taylor Swift needs to step forward. She's very influential. She can move an election," said Lemon, adding, "If she believes in women's reproductive rights and a woman's right to choose - and in democracy, I would say that Taylor Swift needs to come through. It would be a wasted opportunity if she does not use her platform for good."
