Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday thanked Brittany Mahomes, best known as the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for “defending him” after her apparent online support for him sparked a social media outcry last month.

In a post on his social media site, Truth Social, the Republican presidential candidate said it was “nice” to see the “beautiful” Brittany Mahomes “want to save” the United States from “DOWN.”

“What a great couple,” Trump said of the Mahomeses. “See you at the Super Bowl!”

The statement is sure to raise eyebrows among Taylor Swift fans, given the pop icon’s close ties to the Mahomeses, ever since they began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The Mahomeses were spotted at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion last month, along with Swift, Kelce and Hollywood power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

Brittany Mahomes caused an online stir last month when her Instagram account liked (and later unliked) a Trump post outlining his 2024 platform. In response to the negative comments on her Instagram activity, Mahomes slammed haters: “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see other people do well.” She seemingly made an even bigger effort by liking a pro-Trump comment on one of her posts.

Mahomes’ apparent support for Trump stands in stark contrast to Swift’s past political leanings. The “Fortnight” singer backed the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket in 2020. Democrats and some in Swift’s massive fan base had hoped she would publicly back Harris for president this year. (There was speculation that either Swift or Beyoncé would appear at the Democratic National Convention last month, but those rumors were false.)

But Mahomes doesn’t seem too concerned about the potential for bad blood with Swift over their apparent political differences. She shared a post last week that read, “Contrary to the tone of the world today… You can disagree with someone and still love them. You can have different opinions and still be kind.”
