Taylor Swift fans fume that Jackson Mahomes was allowed in the same Chiefs VIP box as pop superstar as he awaits hearing over alleged sexual battery: ‘Someone get her out immediately’
Taylor Swift fans took to social media to express concern about seeing Jackson Mahomes standing behind the pop superstar at Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs game, claiming security “should be ashamed” for having this let it happen.
Swift’s whirlwind romance with NFL star Travis Kelce dominated headlines over the past month, and she attended a fourth game in five weeks to watch him win — again — on Sunday night.
However, her fans were shocked to see Patrick Mahomes’ brother Jackson in the same VIP box just two days before he learned of three charges of aggravated sexual battery stemming from an incident in February.
On X, formerly Twitter, someone wrote: “I need someone to get her out of that box immediately. Jackson Mahomes is here.”
Another Taylor fan — and former star of The Bachelorette — Nick Viall added, “Chiefs security should be ashamed of themselves for letting Jackson Mahomes in the same room as Taylor Swift.”

One fan claimed it was ‘sinister’ that he was in the same box before Tuesday’s court hearing
Another claimed that Kansas City Chiefs security was “ashamed” of the decision

A third, meanwhile, commented: “Putting Jackson Mahomes in the box with Taylor so he gets good coverage before his preliminary hearing for his SA case in TWO DAYS is so damn sinister.”
Mahomes, 23, will appear in court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing in the case, which stems from a Feb. 25 incident in which he allegedly forcibly kissed a female bar owner, 40, in her office.
He faces three felony charges of aggravated sexual battery, as well as another misdemeanor charge for an alleged assault on a male waiter at the same establishment.
Mahomes pleaded guilty to all charges and is free on $100,000 bond.
The preliminary hearing was initially scheduled for August but was postponed until October when the judge presiding over the case contracted Covid.

Taylor, meanwhile, seemed unfazed by Jackson’s presence in the box as she partied throughout the match and celebrated another impressive performance from her boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift even came up with a personalized celebratory handshake with quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany, which the pair showed off after a touchdown. Patrick is the brother of social media influencer Jackson, which explains the latter’s presence in Arrowhead’s suite.
After the match, Taylor and Travis left the stadium together in his Rolls Royce – which the player got specially cleaned on Saturday – before returning to his mansion for a party with their friends and family.
Jackson Mahomes will appear in court again this week in connection with his arrest for aggravated sexual battery, stemming from an incident that occurred in February.

The evening was catered by a BBQ restaurant in Kansas City, and shortly after Taylor and Travis arrived back at the property, they were joined by about twenty guests, who stepped out of a red “party bus.”
It looked like the clan was toasting the Chiefs’ victory and Kelce’s professional performance with barbecue from Fiorella’s Jack Stack.
DailyMail.com can reveal that a food truck from the legendary Kansas City joint was parked in Kelce’s driveway shortly after the game, ready for the group’s return.
Fiorella’s Jack Stack is a small chain of barbecue restaurants located throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area and is known for their 11 hickory smoked meats.
