Taylor Swift capped a headline-grabbing week that included her endorsement of Kamala Harris for president and seven trophies from the MTV Video Music Awards by showing up at Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Swift arrived about 90 minutes before kickoff to see her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and the two-time defending Super Bowl champions play the Cincinnati Bengals in a rematch of two of the past three AFC championship games.
Swift has become close friends with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, over the past year. And that led to some controversy this week after the 14-time Grammy winner said she supported Harris over Donald Trump in the November election.
Trump has been referencing Brittany Mahomes in interviews and speeches since last month, after she liked - and then unliked - an Instagram post by the Republican presidential nominee outlining the "2024 GOP platform." Trump posted soon afterward on Truth Social: "I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me."
Swift's endorsement of Harris led Trump to say in a phone interview with Fox News this week: "I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She's a big Trump fan. I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great."
