A rift was reported between the two due to their differing political views
Once fans found out that Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and Taylor Swift, girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, supported different political candidates, many believed it was the end of their friendship.
That speculation was further fueled when the two sat in separate suites during the Chiefs’ season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens on “Thursday Night Football” back on Sept. 5 after Brittany’s apparent support of presidential candidate Donald Trump through a number of social media posts.
However, any supposed rift between the two was ultimately debunked after it was revealed Swift sat in a suite with Kelce’s mom to spend some quality time together while Brittany spent time in her suite with her own family.
And in the weeks since that incident, their friendship seems to be in a good place. So much so, in fact, that The Sun recently reported that despite their political differences, Brittany and Swift are closer than ever.
“They love the fact that they share many of the same values, even if they can have different opinions on some topics,” a source told The Sun. “They are more than friends, they are family members which is the most important thing of all.”

The Mahomes’ even went as far as to want to make Kelce and Swift the godparents of their unborn third child.
The Daily Mail reported last month that Trump’s “I hate Taylor Swift” social media posts were so personally hurtful that it actually caused Brittany to rethink her political affiliation.
If there was any speculation that the two weren’t on good terms or that they were purposely avoiding each other at Chiefs games, it seems to have died down with as much time as they’ve spent together publicly in recent weeks.
Patrick and Kelce have kept their personal beliefs out of the public eye, and their friendship hasn’t been affected by anything that’s been reported in the media.
