Taylor Swift’s ardent fans are divided after the pop star was photographed hugging Donald Trump supporter and close friend Brittany Mahomes at the US Open.
Swift, who endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020, has not yet announced who she is supporting this year: Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Trump, 78.
The 34-year-old singer has publicly condemned Trump in the past, leading many to wonder if she would distance herself from Mahomes, who was recently praised by the Republican presidential candidate for her support.
However, the best friends put an end to any rumors of a feud when they were spotted together with their partners at the US Open final.
Many Democratic Swifties have since wondered if their big star is now a Trump supporter. Some MAGA fans already believe so.

Amber, a MAGA TikToker, recently took to the video-sharing app to express her joy over Mahomes’ recent support
Amber, a MAGA TikToker, recently took to the video-sharing app to express her joy over Mahomes’ recent support.
The influencer wrote, “MAGA SWIFTIES STOKED MAHOMES CLAPPED BACK” while singing along to an edited version of Swift’s song “22.” He was referring to the football star’s wife’s repost of a comment from Pastor Shane Pruitt that appeared to be a response to the backlash over her behavior.
“Contrary to the tone of the world today…” the post began. “You can disagree with someone and still love them. You can have different opinions and still be kind.”
Amber also captioned the video, “Love that Taylor is surrounded by MAGA Swifties and MAGA supporters! Remember, we don’t know her politics in this election.”
Another MAGA Swiftie, who is a real estate agent in Palm Beach but goes by the username Conservaswifties on TikTok, also used the platform to amplify Mahomes’ message that he should be friends with people who have different political views.

“I wonder what all these blue Swifties are saying about Taylor hating her fans for voting for Trump, but Taylor and Brittany Mahomes’ friendship is strong despite Brittany being a conservative and supporting Trump,” she said. “I wish I could see your faces.”
But while many MAGA Swifties are happy that the pop star is still friends with Mahomes — despite her famous statement in the documentary Miss Americana that she wanted to be on the “right side of history” — her Democratic Party supporters are dismayed.
“Not a word about Palestine. Not a word about Trump using your face to promote him. Not a word about the LGBTQ+ laws of the last few years, or what’s happening in your home state. Best friends with a defender of South Africa and a Trump supporter,” wrote one X user.
While another added: ‘The old Taylor can’t come to the phone now… why?… oh because she’s dating Brittany Mahomes.’
“Activist until you value your friend’s coworker’s wife over your fans’ rights,” someone else added.
Several fans are convinced that Joe Alwyn, Swift’s former boyfriend, was the reason she became a Democratic supporter.
The outrage comes days after Swift hit back at Trump’s apparent acceptance of her “support” in his White House race, with insiders claiming she thinks the Republican has “lost it”
Fans have slammed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their ‘trash’ antics during the US Open final after they sang an iconic 2000s rock song in a ‘purely embarrassing’ moment
The outrage comes days after Swift responded to Trump’s acceptance of her “endorsement” in his White House race, with insiders claiming she believes the Republican has “lost it.”
The presidential candidate shared artificial intelligence-generated posts on his social media platform Truth Social, showing he has received the support of the Grammy winner and her fans.
Trump wrote, “I accept,” alongside deepfake images of women wearing shirts that read “Swifties For Trump,” as well as a poster of the singer dressed as Uncle Sam, urging her fans to vote for the Republican candidate.
While she has yet to publicly endorse any candidate ahead of this year’s election, a source close to Swift unsurprisingly confirmed that she will not be supporting Trump.
“If she didn’t support him last time, she won’t support him this time,” they told DailyMail.com exclusively. “He’s clearly lost his way. In more ways than one.”
