Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes have taken steps to save their friendship amid mounting speculation that the Kansas City Chief WAG’s support for Donald Trump could cause an explosive rift with the singer.
Fans predicted big trouble was brewing after Brittany, 28, caused a stir by liking multiple posts supporting the Republican presidential candidate, 78, ahead of the upcoming election, seemingly going against the opinions of her new best friend, Taylor, 34.
However, a source has exclusively told DailyMail.com that they ‘respect their different viewpoints’ and have made a ‘pact’ to avoid discussing politics.
“Taylor won’t be included in this anti-Brittany narrative because they have made a pact not to talk about politics,” they said.
“They both know it can break friendships and they respect that they have different views.”

The source claimed that “Brittany knew better than to talk politics” during a recent party Taylor threw for Blake Lively at her Rhode Island mansion because she didn’t want to “risk a confrontation over opposing viewpoints.”
“It was an unwritten rule that no one in Taylor’s Rhode Island home was to discuss politics,” they said. “The subject was taboo.
“It’s not just Taylor who hasn’t spoken out for either candidate, it’s Travis as well. They know how much influence they have.”
According to the insider, Taylor’s Eras Tour has opened her eyes to the fact that she has millions of fans who don’t all share the same views, and she’s learned to respect that.
“She loves her fans and has sold out stadiums in both Republican and Democratic states, and has performed in countries where communism is rampant,” they continued.
“They are brought together by their love for her music. If and when Taylor is ready to endorse a candidate, she will do so. This is not the time for her to do so.”
Another source added: ‘Taylor deals with so many different people in her career and life, who are so different, that she does it with love. If you’re a good person, chances are she respects you.
“She and Brittany talk about other things and never about politics, so Taylor isn’t going to let this be a breaking point for their friendship.”
Brittany, 28, has not publicly said she supports Trump, 78, or that she will vote Republican, but she has liked a series of posts supporting Trump that have sparked controversy
Queen Brittany caused a stir among Democratic voters by liking a post about Trump’s policies
She later hit back at her critics, saying there’s no reason their brains are “fully developed”
Last week, Brittany, who has been married to Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes since 2022, caused a liberal meltdown by liking a post from Trump He maps out 16 of his policies for his 26.3 million followers, ranging from topics such as immigration to the economy.
The like sparked outrage among liberals on social media, and Brittany responded strongly to her critics.
“Honestly, if you are a hater as an adult you must have deep rooted childhood issues that you refuse to heal,” she wrote.
“There’s no reason why your brain is already fully developed and you find it annoying to see others doing well.”
While promoting Chiefs merchandise for the new NFL season, she stirred up further controversy when she liked a comment from a follower: “TRUMP-VANCE 2024.”
Brittany has yet to publicly endorse Trump or confirm whether she will vote for him. Still, Taylor’s fans are concerned that her stance could lead to an awkward reunion at future Kansas City Chiefs games.
This comes as Taylor previously expressed his disdain for Trump and voted for his former rival Joe Biden before the 2020 election.
One of them voiced their speculation about X, saying, “Well, it looks like Brittany can forget about being in the skyboxes with Taylor Swift from now on. That could really put a strain on their tik tok relationship.”
Another wrote: ‘This season is going to be awkward in the stadium suites with Brittany and Taylor Swift.’

Taylor and Travis Kelce, both 34, have been dating since the summer of 2023
Taylor lashed out at Trump in May 2020, vowing to “vote him out” of the White House.
Trump has also taken her to task on a regular basis and even commented on her high-profile romance with Travis Kelce.
“I wish them both the best. I hope they enjoy their lives, maybe together, maybe not — most likely not,” he said during an interview with the Daily Caller.
Earlier this month, Taylor hinted that she would not be making statements on topics she felt could be “provocative” after her three shows in Vienna were abruptly cancelled due to a foiled terrorist attack.
“Let me be very clear: I will not speak publicly about anything if I think it will provoke people who want to harm the fans who come to my shows,” she wrote on Instagram.
“In cases like this, ‘silence’ is really showing restraint and waiting to express yourself at a time when it is right. My priority was to complete our European tour safely and it is with great relief that I can say that we have done that.”
Earlier this week, Brittany revealed how her husband Patrick taught her to ignore social media trolls amid controversy over her apparent support for Trump.
In an interview on the WHOOP podcast, she said Patrick helped her block out the criticism she received online.
“He’s really good at blocking people, so it’s helped having him around,” she said. “The biggest thing he’s always told me is to stop worrying about what people think, especially people who don’t even know you.
“I think social media used to really affect me. Now it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f**k what people say about me. And I think he helped me get to that point.
