Why Brittany Mahomes Was Told to Keep Her Distance from Taylor Swift at Super Bowl 2025 Amid Public Backlash

Sources reveal that the real reason Brittany Mahomes was instructed to keep her distance from Taylor Swift during the 2025 Super Bowl was due to concerns over public relations, with former President Donald Trump being the central factor. The two women were present at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to support the Kansas City Chiefs, who eventually lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

A Notable Distance Between Brittany and Taylor

Unlike previous games where Brittany and Taylor were seen together cheering on their respective partners, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, this time the two were seated in separate private boxes, and notably, they didn’t interact. This separation raised questions among fans and onlookers, especially as both women faced significant public backlash that night.

While Taylor received loud boos when her image appeared on the stadium screen, Brittany faced backlash herself after sharing an Instagram post following the Chiefs’ poor performance during the game.

The Donald Trump Factor

Sources close to the situation have exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that Brittany was specifically instructed to avoid being photographed with Taylor due to the presence of Donald Trump at the game. “Brittany was advised to keep her distance from Taylor because Trump was there,” the source explained. “She was told it was for the best.”

Brittany, who has been married to Patrick Mahomes since 2022, sparked controversy last August after she liked a post supporting Trump on social media. A few weeks later, Taylor publicly endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, although she never explicitly addressed Brittany’s stance on supporting the Republican figure.

Why Their Separation Was Seen as Necessary

Given Trump’s controversial history with Taylor, including publicly calling her out and labeling her an enemy after she supported Harris, the decision for Brittany and Taylor to avoid sitting together made sense. The source noted that such a move would prevent a potential PR nightmare if Taylor were to be booed again while sitting next to Brittany.

“It would be a public relations nightmare if they sat together while Taylor was booed,” the insider acknowledged. “Everyone was warned that Trump might say something about Taylor, and sure enough, he did.”

After the Chiefs’ loss, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to share his thoughts: “The only one who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She was booed out of the stadium. MAGA doesn’t forgive!”

This wasn’t the first time Trump had made negative comments about the pop star. Previously, he had famously tweeted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” after she voiced support for Kamala Harris.

Brittany’s Political Struggles and Public Backlash

The political situation surrounding Brittany continued to heat up after her endorsement of Trump. The move angered many on the political left, with some fans questioning her loyalty and affiliations. Brittany responded to these critics on social media, writing: “Honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you must have some deep-rooted issues that you refuse to heal from childhood.”

In the weeks following, Taylor Swift was no longer seen attending Chiefs games with Brittany, though the two continued to interact privately. Brittany attended Taylor’s 35th birthday party, and the two were spotted dining with their NFL partners just days before the Super Bowl.

VIPs and Notable Absences

At the Super Bowl, Taylor’s VIP section included several notable celebrities, including the Haim sisters (Alana, Este, and Danielle), Ice Spice, Machine Gun Kelly, Ashley Avignone, Ross Travis, and Aaron Eanes (Travis Kelce’s manager). Also in attendance were Austin Swift (Taylor’s brother), Scott Swift (her father), and Travis Kelce’s family, including his mother Donna and father Ed.

However, one significant absence was Blake Lively, who was not present at the game due to an ongoing legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni.

While the situation between Brittany and Taylor may seem trivial to some, the political dynamics and Trump’s influence have undeniably shaped their interactions, making the Super Bowl weekend a controversial one for both women. As the tension continues to build, it’s clear that public figures are finding themselves navigating not just personal relationships, but also political and public relations minefields that could shape their careers and friendships for years to come.
