Former President Donald Trump has expressed his preference for Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, over pop star Taylor Swift following Swift's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 election.
In an interview on "Fox & Friends," Trump responded to Swift's political stance while praising Brittany Mahomes for her support.
As reported by The Western Journal, the former president's comments came shortly after Swift's endorsement of Harris on Instagram. When asked about Swift's endorsement by "Fox & Friends" co-host Steve Doocy, Trump chuckled before responding. He made it clear that he favors Brittany Mahomes, referring to her as "Mrs. Mahomes" and highlighting her support for his campaign.
Trump did not mince words when discussing Swift's endorsement of Harris. He characterized the pop star as "a very liberal person" and suggested that her political stance might have consequences in the marketplace.
I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She's a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan.
The former president went on to elaborate on his thoughts about Swift's endorsement, implying that it was inevitable given her political leanings. He also questioned the possibility of endorsing President Biden, suggesting that such an endorsement would be implausible.
Trump's comments reflect the ongoing political divide in the entertainment industry, where celebrities' political stances often draw attention and sometimes controversy.
In contrast to his remarks about Swift, Trump had nothing but praise for Brittany Mahomes. He referred to her as "terrific" and emphasized her support for his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
It was just a question of time. She couldn't … You couldn't possibly endorse Biden. You couldn't possibly endorse him. But she's a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace. But no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany's great. Brittany got a lot of news last week [for her Trump support]. She's a big MAGA fan. That's the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.
Trump's comments about Brittany Mahomes come in the context of recent social media activity that sparked speculation about political differences between Mahomes and Swift. The two had previously been seen together at Kansas City Chiefs games, where Swift has been supporting her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The exchange highlights the potential impact of celebrity endorsements in political campaigns. While Swift's endorsement of Harris could potentially sway some voters, Trump's preference for Mahomes underscores the divided nature of celebrity influence in politics.
Trump's suggestion that Swift might "pay a price" for her endorsement in the marketplace raises questions about the potential consequences of political activism for public figures. It also reflects the polarized nature of the current political climate, where even entertainment figures find themselves at the center of political debates.
