Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Dismisses Swift-Mahomes Controversy: ‘We Shouldn’t Give a Damn’


Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer dismisses concerns about Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes' political differences, stating people shouldn't care about their friendship despite public interest.


Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer recently entered the national discourse on the highly publicized friendship between pop icon Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes. In a Bravo interview on Tuesday, Whitmer was asked if she believed that people should care about potential political differences between Swift, who has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, and Mahomes, who has been linked to supporting former President Donald Trump.

 

Whitmer’s response was sharp and succinct. "We do care about Taylor Swift and, no, we shouldn't give a damn," the governor said, implying that political affiliations should not dictate friendships or personal relationships.

 

While Whitmer’s response was brief, the public has shown a keen interest in the developing story. Swift and Mahomes became fast friends during the 2023 NFL season, frequently seen together at Kansas City Chiefs games. Swift, who has been romantically linked to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, often shared a VIP suite with Brittany Mahomes as they cheered on their respective partners. The camaraderie between the two women was evident, and their public appearances drew significant media attention.

 

However, this year, things have changed. Swift’s recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in the wake of a political debate on September 10 has caused waves among both fans and political commentators. The endorsement stood in contrast to Mahomes’ perceived support for Trump, which has been a point of social media controversy since she liked one of Trump’s Instagram posts outlining his 2024 policy platform in August.

 

This social media activity ignited speculation that Mahomes leans toward conservative politics, while Swift has long been vocal about her progressive views. Swift’s fanbase, known for its political engagement, quickly noticed Mahomes’ Instagram activity, further fueling the controversy. In response to the backlash, Mahomes posted cryptic messages on her Instagram stories, emphasizing kindness and tolerance.

 

"I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood," Mahomes wrote. She followed this up with another story that read, "Contrary to the tone of the world today….you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind."

 

Despite the social media storm, Swift and Mahomes have not made any public comments directly addressing their political views or friendship. However, it has not gone unnoticed that in recent Chiefs games, Swift and Mahomes have not sat together as they did last year. Fans observed that in Week 1 and Week 2 of the current NFL season, Swift was absent from Mahomes’ suite, prompting questions about whether politics may have strained their once highly publicized bond.

 

Former President Trump has also taken the opportunity to comment on the situation. During a "Fox & Friends" appearance, he mentioned that he liked "Mrs. Mahomes much better" than Swift, doubling down on his disdain for the pop star, whom he once declared on Truth Social, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" Trump’s comments added fuel to the fire, but they have not sparked any further public exchanges between Swift and Mahomes.

 

Whitmer’s position on the matter reflects a broader sentiment that friendships, especially in the public eye, should not be judged or defined by political alignments. Her message was clear: the personal relationships of celebrities shouldn’t be the concern of the public.

 

Whether or not the political divide between Swift and Mahomes will impact their friendship remains to be seen. But for now, Whitmer believes it is an issue not worth worrying about.
