Former President Donald Trump took a swing at
social media stardom
on Wednesday, sending a virtual high-five to
Brittany Mahomes
, wife of
Kansas City Chiefs
quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Trump’s shout-out came after Mahomes stirred the internet pot with her unexpected show of support for the ex-president, leading to a whirlwind of buzz online last month.
On
Truth Social
, Trump expressed his appreciation for Mahomes, calling her “beautiful” and praising her for wanting to “save” the United States “from DOOM.” He couldn’t resist adding a playful jab, saying, “What a great couple.
See you both at the Super Bowl!”
The timing of Trump’s comments couldn’t be more tantalizing for pop culture watchers. The Mahomeses’ unexpected political move seems set to stir the pot, especially among Taylor Swift fans. Swift, who has been tight with the Mahomeses, recently hosted them at her Rhode Island mansion, where they mingled with Swift’s beau, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, as well as Hollywood power duo Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
The online drama began when Brittany Mahomes’ Instagram account liked, then unliked, a Trump post detailing his 2024 campaign platform. The move sparked a flurry of speculation and backlash, prompting Mahomes to hit back at critics. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she posted, adding fuel to the fire by liking a supportive comment on one of her posts.
While Mahomes seems unbothered by the political stir, her support for Trump is a stark contrast to Swift’s 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Speculation had swirled that Swift or Beyoncé might appear at the Democratic National Convention last month, but those rumors fizzled out.
Despite the potential for political discord, Mahomes appears to be taking the high road. Last week, she shared a heartfelt post: “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.”
As the political and celebrity spheres collide, one thing’s for sure: the Super Bowl isn’t just about football this year. It’s shaping up to be a thrilling showdown of opinions and alliances, with Trump, the Mahomeses, and Swift all playing starring roles. Buckle up—this is one game where the off-field drama is almost as exciting as the action on the turf!
