Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown weighed in on Taylor Swift’s controversial reunion with Brittany Mahomes.
Over the weekend, Swift and Mahomes, attended the US Open Men’s Final. They were joined by their respective partners: Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Following the event, photos of Swift, 34, warmly embracing Mahomes, 29, went viral due to the latter’s supposed support for Donald Trump.
Brown, 36, who in May publicly endorsed Trump, joined in on the social media firestorm, writing “White People for Trump” next to the picture on X.
The Independent has contacted Swift’s representative for comment.
The pictures come a week after Trump thanked Mahomes for “strongly defending” him she received backlash for “liking” one of the ex-president’s Instagram posts.
“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 posted from his Truth Social account.
“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,” he added. “What a great couple - See you both at the Super Bowl!”
Mahomes sparked controversy in late August for “liking” a post from Trump titled: “The 2024 GOP Platform,” which outlined his priorities for a second-term administration.
While Mahomes appeared to remove her like from the post following the backlash, she later liked comments on posts promoting “Trump-Vance 2024.”
She eventually confronted the “haters” directly, writing on Instagram: “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.”
Swift, who has largely stayed away from vocalizing her political opinions, publicly backed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the 2020 presidential election. Later that year, she directly tweeted at Trump: “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.”
On Tuesday (September 10), minutes after Harris and Trump ended their first presidential debate, Swift powerfully shared her endorsement of Harris and Tim Walz. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote in a lengthy post on Instagram.
Ex-wide receiver Brown, meanwhile, previously spoke out in support of Trump, telling OutKick that he has “admiration” for the former president’s “good business moves.”
“He comes from a good family and has been a good president,” Brown said. “I’ll endorse Trump. I think he does some good things for my brothers in the music industry in regards to Lil Wayne, Kodak [Black]. We’re hoping he can do some of that for Young Thug.”
In 2021, Trump granted last-minute pardons to rappers Lil Wayne, who in 2020 pleaded guilty to illegal gun possession, and Black, who was serving a prison sentence for falsifying information on federal forms to purchase firearms.
Young Thug is currently on trial for years-old charges accusing him and more than two dozen other people of conspiring to violate Georgia’s anti-racketeering law. He is also charged with gang, drug and gun crimes.
