Taylor Swift Fans ‘Disappointed’ Over Singer’s New Photo With Controversial Celebrity

Fans of singer Taylor Swift shared their clear disappointment in the star's choices after seeing her hug Brittany Mahomes following the 29-year-old's move to seemingly endorse presidential candidate Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Sept. 8, Swift giddily hugged Brittany at the US Open as she attended the event with her beau Travis Kelce. Brittany's husband Patrick Mahomes, who is also Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammate, was also in attendance.

After Swifties saw the photo of Swift and Brittany's enthusiastic hug, they shared their thoughts on the public association, with many writing how "disappointed" they were with Swift.

In response to the photo, one fan wrote, "disappointed but not surprised atp," while another referenced Swift's PR rep, Tree Paine, saying, "tree paine can you handle this please mama."

A top-liked response to the photo read, "taylor girl that’s not very miss americana of you like how can you stand to be around someone like that," referring to Swift's 2020 documentary called Miss Americana, in which she talked about the responsibility she felt to "be on the right side of history" before endorsing President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. So far, Swift has not publicly endorsed a 2024 presidential candidate.

While many people agreed with this fan's criticism, others argued that you can still be friends with people with different political opinions, with one response saying, "just bc they have different political views doesn’t mean that they can’t be friends."

Others highlight Brittany's actions, noting that she liked Trump's social media posts about his problematic policies, leading Trump to call her out by name to thank her for her support on his Truth Social platform. Fans also referenced Brittany's questionable past tweets about Swift and other seemingly problematic actions.

Swift fans called out Brittany, but as of writing, Swift has not shared any public response to the backlash, although Swifties previously noticed that the "Fortnight" singer appeared to sit separately from her friend at a recent football game, assuming it to be in reaction to the recent news.
