<p id=”par-1_78″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/super-bowl/?swcfpc=1″>Super Bowl LIX</a> didn’t have a favorable outcome for the Kansas City Chiefs. While <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/travis-kelce”>Travis Kelce</a> and Patrick Mahomes hoped to help give the Chiefs a three-peat, the Philadelphia Eagles stole the show from the first moments of the game. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/travis-kelce-said-losing-money-taylor-swift-friends-attend-super-bowl-reportedly-spent-millions.html/”>Taylor Swift was in her Super Bowl suite</a> and had a group of friends and family by her side. While Swift is friends with Brittany Mahomes, Brittany reportedly “kept her distance” from Swift to avoid a “PR nightmare.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-brittany-mahomes-reportedly-kept-her-distance-from-taylor-swift-during-super-bowl-lix”>Brittany Mahomes reportedly ‘kept her distance’ from Taylor Swift during Super Bowl LIX</h2>
<p id=”par-2_52″>Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes developed a friendship once Swift started dating Travis Kelce. Brittany formerly played professional soccer, and she and Patrick Mahomes tied the knot in 2022. Brittany and Swift have been spotted together on several occasions, as they connect over their shared love of the Kansas City Chiefs. </p>
<p id=”par-3_32″>While Swift and Brittany have rooted for the Chiefs together in the past, an insider told <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14382101/taylor-swift-brittany-mahomes-instructed-distance-super-bowl-trump.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>DailyMail.com</a> that Brittany was “instructed” to keep “her distance” from Swift at Super Bowl LIX. </p>
<p id=”par-4_21″>“Brittany kept her distance from Taylor because of Trump attending the game,” the source noted. “She was instructed to do so.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_37″>President Donald Trump has notoriously had things to say about Swift, as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-endorses-kamala-harris-following-backlash-friendship-brittany-mahomes.html/”>Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris</a> during the presidential election. While Brittany hasn’t publicly endorsed Trump, she’s “liked” Trump’s Instagram posts about the GOP platform. </p>
<p id=”par-6_38″>“That could have been a PR nightmare if the two were seated together when Taylor was booed,” the source noted. “And everyone was forewarned that Trump would likely reference Taylor in one way or another and he did.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_29″>The insider added that it was in Brittany and Swift’s “best interests” that they didn’t sit together during the game “given Trump’s attendance and his past remarks” about Swift.</p>
<p id=”par-8_56″>Another source gave insight into Brittany and Swift’s complex public dance. “Brittany is a pawn in Trump’s game to get into her circle,” they said. “Trump is well aware of their friendship, and he is very divisive. Any way he can take a cheap shot at Taylor, he will. This is likely why Brittany kept her distance.”</p>

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Pre-Super Bowl Body Language Suggests Relationship Needs ‘Attention,’ Expert Says </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-9_22″>Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes bonded thanks to the Kansas City Chiefs. But their friendship extends beyond Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.</p>
<p id=”par-10_56″>“They have a really genuine friendship and love hanging out at the games together and cheering on their men,” a source told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/taylor-swift-and-brittany-mahomes-best-friendship-moments-in-photos/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a> in January 2024. “Brittany loves that Taylor is dating Travis, and she’s so supportive of their relationship. They have a very similar sense of humor and are always cracking jokes and laughing.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_103″>Despite Brittany’s close ties with Swift, Donald Trump praised her. “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” Trump wrote, according to <a href=”https://www.foxnews.com/sports/brittany-mahomes-shares-christian-message-after-trump-backlash-taylor-swift-friendship-questions” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Fox News</a>. “With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl! [sic].”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-taylor-swift-conveyed-discomfort-while-watching-travis-kelce-play-in-the-super-bowl-a-body-language-expert-says”>Taylor Swift conveyed ‘discomfort’ while watching Travis Kelce play in the Super Bowl, a body language expert says</h2>
<p id=”par-12_31″>According to body language expert Inbaal Honigman, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-looked-unsettled-insulted-getting-booed-super-bowl-body-language-expert-says.html/”>Taylor Swift looked uncomfortable</a> during Super Bowl LIX. And she certainly wasn’t happy when the crowd booed her after her appearance on the jumbotron.</p>
<p id=”par-13_63″>“Taylor displays a range of expressions while watching Travis play — most of them conveying discomfort,” Honigman said in an interview with Lucy Parker, Digital PR Lead for <a href=”https://www.casino.ca/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Casino.ca</a>. “When the crowd erupts in boos, she appears visibly uneasy. Her lips curl downward, and her eyes dart from side to side as she mouths, ‘What’s going on?’ This reaction reflects confusion, dismay, and even a hint of hurt.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_14″>Honigman noted that even before the crowd booed the pop star, Swift looked “tense.”</p>
