As a long-time Swiftie myself, I must admit that Taylor’s friendship with Brittany Mahomes is a fascinating turn of events. Being a political science major and having followed Taylor’s career for years, it seems like she’s navigating her personal and professional relationships with grace and an open mind.


She gathered support from her followers following an unexpected show of backing for the Democratic Presidential Nominee, Kamala Harris, right after her debate with Donald Trump on Tuesday, which she then mobilized.

Furthermore, Taylor Swift received lots of backing from her famous friends and fans through her Instagram post as well.

Several of her good friends, such as Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Suki Waterhouse, and her ex-best friend Karlie Kloss, were among those who liked her post.

As a devoted fan, I too found myself swept up in an overwhelming wave of solidarity when the 34-year-old Shake It Off artist encountered her situation. Notable figures such as Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, and Katie Holmes were among the many stars who offered their support.

The majority of famous individuals who liked Taylor’s post were women, ranging from up-and-coming artists to established stars, with a notable presence of A-listers as well.

Among those who liked the post, some individuals have a history of prominent endorsements and vocal political opinions, for instance, Oprah Winfrey.

Among those expressing their support was the talk show host, who had previously captivated the audience during the Democratic National Convention shortly after President Joe Biden decided to step down from the race and endorse Harris.

Individuals like country singer Maren Morris and Chrissy Teigen are recognized for expressing their political views openly on social platforms.

A number of celebrities were influential figures in the entertainment industry, such as the versatile producer and actress, Reese Witherspoon, and the talented director who began as an actress, Olivia Wilde.

A number of well-known actresses such as Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lupita Nyong’o, and Rachel Zegler backed Taylor Swift and her statement.

Actresses who are most recognized for their TV roles also offered support, even though many of them have flourishing film careers as well. Kerry Washington, Aubrey Plaza, Quinta Brunson, Mandy Moore, Mindy Kaling, Kristin Davis, Ashley Tisdale, Jessica Alba, Hilary Duff, Lili Reinhart and others clicked the ‘like’ button in support.

As an ardent admirer putting this into my own words, I find myself in awe as Taylor shared her work with musical luminaries such as Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Charli XCX, and Chloe Bailey extending their support. Amidst this sisterhood of stars, John Legend stood out as one of the rare male A-listers who graciously took a moment to acknowledge her post.

Reality TV was also represented thanks to Bravo’s Andy Cohen and former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: After I labeled myself a ‘cat-loving woman without kids,’ echoing controversial comments made by Mike Pence, the running mate of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump, Swift’s fans rallied behind her. Many social media users jumped on board, expressing their support for her stance.

A user posted on X (previously known as Twitter): ‘Let’s band together, all women who don’t have children but share a love for cats, in light of Swift’s unexpected support!’

To underscore the jab, she posed with her fluffy Ragdoll cat Benjamin Button.

Her social media update received admiration from followers, following a group of Taylor Swift supporters (known as Swifties) criticizing her for getting close to her friend Brittany Mahomes, despite her apparent backing of Donald Trump.

Following her observation of the debate between Harris and Trump on Tuesday evening, she chose to openly support Harris in order to make clear her stance. This was done to counteract misleading AI-generated posts that circulated online, suggesting she had endorsed Trump instead.

She announced that she intends to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz during the 2024 Presidential Election.

Swift stated that she was backing Harris as she is a fierce advocate for the rights and issues I strongly feel require a strong advocate. Furthermore, she commended her running mate Walz for his long-standing commitment to LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s personal autonomy over her own body.

Taylor’s post resonated strongly with her followers, but it also garnered positive attention from other celebrities on Instagram, who quickly showed their approval with a ‘like.’

Many fans enthusiastic about the pop star’s endorsement felt it might be the decisive factor helping Harris cross the winning line.

‘OMG!!’ wrote another excited fan while including a gif of Taylor cheering that read, ‘Let’s go!’ They added the hashtag #TaylorSwiftforHarrisWalz. 

Others imagined Swift celebrating after shaking up the campaigns with her endorsement.

One user edited the popular ‘disaster girl’ meme to replace the devious-looking child with Swift as a house was engulfed in flames behind her. 

Another person reposted Taylor’s ‘Childless Cat Lady’ line with a clip of a woman screaming with joy as she created a makeshift flamethrower. 

Robert Griffin III joked, ‘Oh it’s over. Swifties don’t play.’ 

In response to the endorsement, Desus Nice playfully suggested that we won’t be seeing Kid Rock re-emerge in any profound poetry or troubled artist category.

One user wrote that the ‘debate was so devastating for Trump that it expedited the Taylor Swift endorsement.’ 

Others hinted at rumors suggesting that the Trump campaign found itself troubled by the way JD Vance’s earlier remarks were causing them problems.

‘trump is going to hang jd vance by his ankles off the top of trump tower,’ joked a poster on X.

As a devoted supporter, I must admit that Swift’s recent endorsement seems to have reignited my loyalty, as well as the loyalty of numerous fellow fans who had earlier voiced criticism over her maintaining her friendship with Brittany Mahomes.

In my personal experience, I’ve had the pleasure of forming a friendship with the renowned pop star, following my budding relationship with my teammate from the Kansas City Chiefs, the talented tight end Travis Kelce. His exceptional wife, of course, being none other than the remarkable Patrick Mahomes, our esteemed quarterback.

Initially, Brittany was part of Taylor’s circle of well-known female companions, but it was uncertain if she still belonged there following her likes on multiple pro-Trump social media content, a move that infuriated Taylor’s supporters.

It was whispered that there might have been tension between them, noticeably following an incident where Brittany was absent from Taylor’s group during their game against the Ravens a few days ago.

However, a source later told The Sun that the two simply had different plans for that game.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to share that Taylor made it clear that she and Brittany remain close friends, as evidenced by their heartwarming embrace during the Men’s Singles Final match at the US Open last Sunday.

There were rumors, both among some Republicans and Taylor Swift supporters, that the singer might choose not to support any candidate this time around, following her endorsement of President Joe Biden in the 2020 elections.

Her fresh support for Mahomes sparked a controversial idea on the edges, yet her post-debate endorsement on Tuesday unequivocally demonstrated that Swift’s political beliefs and principles remained consistent.

One X user mocked the idea that she was ‘soft-launch[ing] becoming a Republican’ by simply reposting her forceful endorsement.

Swift’s friendship with Mahomes, along with her endorsement, implies that she can keep friendships with people on the conservative side, despite her opposition towards Donald Trump.
