There seems to be no rift between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes after the wife of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes appeared to stoke social media controversy with apparent support for former President Donald Trump.

Swift was with Travis Kelce and the Mahomes family at Flushing Meadows to watch the U.S. Open. Swift and Brittany Mahomes were snapped embracing each other lovingly.

There didn’t seem to be any animosity after Swift and Mahomes sat in different suites while the Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. There may have been some as Mahomes has been wrapped up on social media controversy.

Mahomes’ apparent social media like kickstarted a social media firestorm over the last few weeks. She first indicated her support for Trump on Aug. 13, when she liked Trump’s Instagram post that outlined the “2024 GOP platform.” The swimsuit model then appeared to respond to the criticism on her Instagram Stories.

“I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” she wrote. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”

She posted another cryptic message on her social media. 

“Contrary to the tone of the world today….you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind,” she wrote Aug. 26. “Read that again!”

Mahomes was then caught liking supportive comments of her stance.

Trump, then, thanked her for her apparent support.

“I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” Trump wrote. 

“With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless “leaders,” it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!”

All of it led to more concerns about a potential rift between the two on Thursday when they weren’t pictured together. But it all seems to be water under the bridge.

The group was set to see whether Taylor Fritz could end the winless streak for Americans at the Grand Slam event.

Fritz will take on No. 1-seeded Jannik Sinner. Fritz defeated Frances Tiafoe in the semifinals, and Sinner topped Jack Draper to get the opportunity for the championship. Sinner has one Grand Slam title to his name while Fritz is in search of the first of his career.

But the pressure is mounting.

Swift and Kelce and the Mahomes family were among the celebrities in the building for the event. Kelce is fresh off of the Chiefs’ opening-night victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. Swift was in attendance to watch her boyfriend play.

The two flew back to New York after the game. The Chiefs don’t have a game until next Sunday, when the Cincinnati Bengals come to town.

Should Fritz pull off the upset, he would be the first American man to win the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick won the tournament in 2003. Roddick defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in straight sets. It was also the last time an American won any of the four premier tournaments. Andre Agassi also won the Australian Open in 2003.

Tennis aside, it appears all love between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes from the looks of their interactions at the US Open.

On Sunday, Sept. 8, the two reunited inside New York City’s Arthur Ashe Stadium during the men’s single final at the annual tennis tournament.

Swift, 34, arrived at the event with boyfriend Travis Kelce, also 34, after attending a wedding together on Saturday. The pair caught up with Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.

At one point, Swift and Brittany, 29, shared a warm hug at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens.

Just a few days before, both of them attended the Chiefs’ home opening game for the 2024-2025 season when Kansas City defeated the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5. At the time, multiple outlets reported that the pair — who have watched Chiefs games together in the past — sat in separate suites for the game, prompting rumors of a rift between them.

Now, during their latest get-together at the US Open, Swift has been spotted standing side-by-side with Kelce, Brittany and Patrick, 28, as the friends watched Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz face off.

For the Sunday outing, Swift wore a red and white gingham sundress and cat-eye sunglasses, as Kelce sported a cream-colored ensemble with a Gucci bucket hat. Brittany also wore a Gucci fit with sunglasses, as Patrick rocked a black Prada zip-up shirt.

Photos from the sporting event show the two couples chatting away and, at one point, even smiling and posting for a group photo.

The latest Mahomes-Swift hangout comes shortly after Brittany, a soon-to-be mom of three, showed off her 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye‘s adorable outfit at the home opener at Arrowhead Stadium this past week. Brittany also shares son Patrick “Bronze”, 21 months, with Patrick.

Swift checked out Thursday’s game with Kelce’s dad, Ed, and mom, Donna, as they all cheered on Kelce. Swift and Donna even shared a hug after a major play by Kelce and Patrick.

It’s been a busy few days for Kelce and Swift, who went from the Kansas City home opener on Thursday to a pizza date at Brooklyn hotspot Lucali on Friday to the Saturday wedding of model Karen Elson and Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster.

Swift was spotted on Saturday wearing the “TNT” bracelet that Kelce custom-made for her. The bracelet features their initials in 14K yellow gold and lab-grown diamonds. The “Lover” singer wore a Zimmermann Halliday Scallop Midi Dress with cutouts on the side for her wedding look, while Kelce opted for an all-black ensemble with slicked-back hair.
