Did you think that the Taylor Swift/Donald Trump/Brittany Mahomes saga had come to a close? Unfortunately for everyone, it is still going — and now anonymous sources have entered the chat. Apparently, Trump’s “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” post was what it took for Mahomes to realize that he might not be the guy she wants to support (publicly, at least).
An anonymous source told the Daily Mail — so take this with a large handful of salt — that Mahomes was “deeply bothered” by the former president attacking her friend. Mahomes, who was criticized earlier this month for liking one of Trump’s Instagram posts, is now in a tricky spot. Does she support her preferred political candidate or her best friend of one year? Decisions, decisions.
“She is questioning her support for Donald Trump after he lashed out at Taylor, saying he hates her,” the source told the British tabloid. “This deeply bothered Brittany because Taylor is like a sister to her and she has done absolutely nothing wrong … She didn’t mention Trump in her post and is allowed to speak her mind.”
Brittany Mahomes, free-speech advocate. It gets better, though. Mahomes is reportedly upset because Trump acted in a “hateful manner” toward Swift. “She does not believe in hate in any form and loves Taylor so much,” the source explained. “This shook her to the core.” Just wait until she hears about all of his other opinions.
“This doesn’t mean she is suddenly voting Kamala,” the source continued. “It has just made her more aware of supporting him so publicly.”
Looks like Mahomes is learning publicly what many before her figured out in private: If you want to be famous and a Republican, do the second part quietly.
