Former NFL star Antonio Brown waded into the social media frenzy surrounding Brittany Mahomes on Sunday after she was photographed alongside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce during a high-profile weekend outing. The group, including Mahomes and her husband, NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, attended the U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows in New York City, where they watched Jannik Sinner defeat Taylor Fritz.
This marked the first public appearance of Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift together since Mahomes faced backlash for liking a post by former President Donald Trump, as well as showing support for comments in favor of her decision. The incident ignited debates and fueled further controversy online.
Seizing the opportunity, Antonio Brown made a sarcastic comment on X (formerly Twitter), referencing the political tension. “White People for Trump,” he wrote, captioning a post featuring the photo of Brittany Mahomes, Swift, and Kelce, blending the world of sports, entertainment, and politics into an already heated social media discussion. Brown’s remark quickly gained attention, adding fuel to the ongoing conversation.
Brittany Mahomes’ apparent Instagram like set off a social media firestorm in recent weeks. The controversy began on August 13 when Mahomes, a swimsuit model and entrepreneur, publicly showed support for former President Donald Trump by liking an Instagram post outlining his “2024 GOP platform.” This sparked a wave of backlash from both fans and critics, who quickly took to social media to express their opinions.
In response to the growing criticism, Mahomes addressed the situation through a message on her Instagram Stories. She seemed to take aim at her detractors, writing, “I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
Shortly after, she posted another cryptic message, further fueling speculation and discussion across social platforms, leaving followers guessing about her next move. The series of posts only intensified the ongoing conversation about her political stance and public image.

On August 26, Brittany Mahomes posted a message that seemed to address the growing political tension surrounding her, writing, “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. Read that again!” Her statement appeared to advocate for civility and respect despite differences in opinion.
Following her post, Mahomes was seen liking several supportive comments that praised her stance. The controversy gained further momentum when former President Donald Trump publicly thanked her for what he perceived as her backing of his political views.
“I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” Trump wrote in response. He continued, “With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!”
As this political drama unfolded, Taylor Swift’s fans became increasingly uneasy about her friendship with Brittany Mahomes. Their concern escalated when rumors surfaced about a potential rift between the two, especially after they were not pictured together during a later event on Thursday. The absence fueled speculation that the growing controversy might have impacted their relationship.
