We preface the following by reiterating that each of us has the right to vote as we wish. That goes for pop stars and quarterback’s wives and sports fans and yes, even sportswriters. Having said that …

A new report from the Daily Mail says Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs QB Patrick, is “deeply bothered” by former President Donald Trump’s personal criticism of her friend, singer Taylor Swift.

Swift publicly endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris – again, well within her right. Meanwhile, other people within the Chiefs family surely plan on voting for Trump – also part of the process.

But in recent days, the Republican nominee Trump posted on Truth Social that he “hates” Swift … and the reason, of course, is that she isn’t voting for him. As a result? Brittany is reportedly “shaken to the core” and “questioning her support for Donald Trump after he lashed out at Taylor, saying he hates her,” the Daily Mail said.

Mahomes, the Daily Mail source writes, is bothered because Swift – girlfriend to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce – did “nothing wrong” and is “like a sister to her.”

Last week, following Swift’s public backing of Harris, Trump said during a Fox News appearance that he preferred Brittany over Taylor.

“Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan,” Trump said, before adding that Brittany is “great” and her husband is “a great quarterback.”
