Swift's endorsement of Harris drew a loud response from former President Donald Trump, whom Mahomes was attached to supporting. On September 15, Trump posted a message on his Truth Social platform that read, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” and in a September 11 interview on “Fox & Friends,” the former president said he “likes Mahomes a lot more” than Quick.

Mahomes' husband, Patrick, defended her political influence and praised her after Trump praised her for Swift on 9/11.
“I think you can see that Brittany does a lot for the community,” the 28-year-old QB said. “I do a lot in the community to help educate people and give them the opportunity to use their voice,” he said. “In political times, people will benefit from things here and there, but I can't let that affect how I go about my business every day and try to live it to the best of my ability.”
Patrick himself said he would not support any political candidate, but encouraged Americans to do what is right for “their families.”

“At the end of the day, it's about me and my family and how we treat other people,” he said.
Brittany and Patrick were born and raised in East Texas and started dating while attending Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas. Whitehouse is a town of about 8,500 people that has historically voted Republican, according to Data USA. The couple married in March 2022 and shares two children, 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and 1-year-old son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III.
Shortly after an investigation began that revealed Brittany was liking Trump's Instagram content, Patrick wished her a happy birthday on August 31.
On a recent episode of the “Whoop” podcast, Brittany said she leaned on her three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback husband to help guide her through the recent public scrutiny.
“Him helping me through it helped me a lot because he's very good at managing these things and blocking people and doing that type of stuff,” she said. “Having him around and kind of guiding me and coaching me through it helped a lot. I think we kind of got to where we are now.
“I think the most important thing he always told me was, 'Stop caring what people think, especially people who don't even know you,'” she said. “That's why I think I used to be very drawn to social media, and now, honestly, I don't care what people say about me anymore.”
Meanwhile, Swift's boyfriend and Patrick's teammate Travis Kelce have also not endorsed the upcoming election or commented on her or his own political positions since Swift's endorsement.

However, in March, Kelce told the Los Angeles Times that he and Swift had shared values since they started dating just a few months earlier, both 33 years old.
“I think the values that we have and just, you know, who we are as people,” Kelce said when asked why he thinks people are so fascinated by their relationship. “We love shining a light on others, shining a light on people who help and support us. And beyond that, I feel like we both just have a love for life.”
