Swift found herself conspicuously without Brittany Mahomes during the recent Kansas City Chiefs’ NFL game, raising questions about the status of their friendship.
While cheering for Travis Kelce and the Chiefs, Swift was notably absent from Mahomes’ side. Instead, she watched the game alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, and other companions.
Mahomes, on the other hand, observed the contest from a separate box, sparking speculation about the state of their relationship.
On December 10, Swift arrived at Arrowhead Stadium alone before departing with Kelce.
The apparent distance between Swift and Mahomes prompts speculation about Swift’s motivations.
Notably, Swift faced criticism twice for her association with Jackson Mahomes, who is accused of sexual offenses and is the cousin of Patrick Mahomes and cousin-in-law of Brittany Mahomes.
Fans, highlighting Swift’s survivor status and advocacy for sexual assault survivors, questioned her decision to associate with someone facing similar accusations.
This scrutiny may have led Swift to reconsider her proximity to the Mahomes family, recognizing the potential hypocrisy and the negative impact on her image as a celebrity advocate.
In response to the criticism, Brittany Mahomes defended Jackson on Instagram, dismissing the accusations and urging people to withhold judgment.
She stated, “They are ignorant. He is a human just trying to live his life and find his way. Until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will), you have no right to say s**t about him. So it’s best to just shut up.”
Jackson Mahomes faces allegations of forcibly kissing Aspen Vaughn at a local Kansas City bar on February 25, and he is also accused of shoving other staff members.
As Swift distances herself from the Mahomes’ clan, the evolving dynamics of their relationship become a subject of public speculation.
