Taylor Swift is catching heat from some of her fans after being photographed hugging her friend Brittany Mahomes at the 2024 US Open.
Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recently found herself in the political spotlight after Donald Trump publicly thanked her for "strongly defending" him, though it’s unclear what specific actions he referred to.
With Swifties largely leaning left politically, seeing their favorite pop star cozy up to someone linked to Trump didn’t sit well with many, prompting backlash on social media.
Fans expressed their disappointment, with some calling it a new low for Swift.
