NFL wife Brittany Mahomes is clapping back at those hating on Taylor Swift and blaming her for ruining the sport.
The former soccer player, who is married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has found a new best friend in the pop icon, who we all know is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In fact, Mahomes is already proving her loyalty by standing up for Swift following the backlash from NFL fans throughout the season.
As previously reported, Taylor Swift has been blamed for ruining the sport and for being the reason the Kansas City Chiefs were not playing well throughout the regular season. The team, however, has turned around and dominated in the NFL playoffs, making it to the Super Bowl, which will take place on February 11, 2024.
Despite the backlash, many celebrities, commentators, and former athletes have stood up for Swift, including former NBA player Charles Barkley. Following Barkley's comments on the haters, Brittany Mahomes decided to use his quote in her social media post to reiterate how Taylor Swift is not ruining football.

Brittany Mahomes took to her Instagram Stories to repost a quote from Charles Barkley, who said, “If you’re screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined [football], you’re just a loser.”
Alongside the quote, Mahomes wrote, “Let. Them. Know.”
Mahomes and Swift have become close friends over the past few months as the pop icon started dating Travis Kelce, who is close friends and teammates with Patrick Mahomes, the husband of Brittany Mahomes. The two have posed for many photos together at NFL games, including throughout the playoffs, as both women were in the stands to cheer on the team.
Other big-name celebs who have stood up for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce include Stephen A. Smith, who has said, “I have to take a moment to come to the defense of Taylor Swift. Everybody’s sitting up there and acting like she’s some kind of impediment.”
The sports analyst added, “Excuse me, she did her job! That Eras Tour? Off the chain. Generated billions. She’s going to support her dude. To show up at a football game and the cameras are on her — that ain’t her fault!”
“And excuse me, by the way, she went to the games after the concerts,” he continued. “It’s not like she used the games to bump up the concerts.”
