We’re already one game into the NFL season and already there’s WAG gossip to chat about. What a time to be alive. Last night, the Chiefs hosted the NFL Kickoff game in Kansas City, which means the world’s most famous WAG was there. Taylor Swift cheered on Travis Kelce in a suite alongside his mother Donna. She also wore thigh-high leather boots and denim shorts, but we can’t get into that here.

Not in that suite was Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and someone who frequently sticks by Swift’s side at football games. She and Swift have developed quite a friendship over the past year, and Mahomes has quickly made it into Swift’s inner circle. She’s been invited to girls’ nights, they’ve gone out on double dates with their partners, and recently the Mahomes family drove to Rhode Island to hang out at Swift’s beach house. Things may be getting cold between the two women, though.

Last month, Mahomes found herself in a sticky situation when it was revealed that she had liked one of Donald Trump’s Instagram posts. When people called her out for it, she called them “haters” who “have deep-rooted issues from childhood that they don’t want to heal.” Perhaps noticing that she was using his own rhetoric, Trump personally thanked Mahomes for her support in a post on Wednesday.

What I’m saying is that it’s not surprising that she and Swift weren’t sitting next to each other last night. Mahomes has been outed as a Trump fan and Swift has a slightly liberal image to uphold.

Instead of bonding with Swift, Mahomes and their daughter Sterling watched the game from another suite. Page Six reported that Swift and Kelce attended an “intimate” after-party at a local Kansas City cocktail bar after the game. Patrick Mahomes was reportedly there, but Brittany was not. Frankly, she’s pregnant and maybe didn’t want to hang out late at night with a bunch of drunk football players.

A generous interpretation of the separate suites would be that Team Kelce and Team Mahomes each had their own suites for the first game of the season and that’s why we didn’t see them together. Someone else might say Mahomes’ days with the team are coming to an end (at least publicly). Rest assured, I’ll be watching where everyone sits next Sunday when the Bengals come to Kansas City.
