Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes quelled breakup rumors with a warm hug at the US Open
Taylor and Brittany recently put to rest rumors about their strained friendship with a warm hug during the US Open. The duo spent time together at Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 8, along with teammates Travis and Patrick. Outside of tennis, their interactions show that their relationship is stronger than ever, despite recent speculation.
On Sunday, September 8, the two reunited at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City to watch the men’s singles final at the annual tennis tournament. Taylor, 34, arrived at the event with her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, also 34, after attending a wedding together the day before. The couple met Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick and his wife, Brittany.
At one point during the event, Taylor and Brittany, 29, shared a warm hug at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. This public display of affection seems to have quelled all rumors about a rift between the two friends.
Just days before that, both Taylor and Brittany were spotted at the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener on September 5, where the Chiefs won against the Baltimore Ravens. Reports from several media outlets at the time suggested that the pair sat in separate rooms throughout the match, sparking speculation that there may have been tension between them. However, their recent interaction at the US Open painted a very different picture.
During their latest outing, Swift was seen standing with Travis, Brittany and Patrick, 28, as they watched the match between tennis stars Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz. The group’s appearance together reinforces the notion that there is no discord between friends.
For her Sunday outing, Taylor wore a chic red-and-white plaid dress paired with cat-eye sunglasses, while Travis opted for a cream outfit with a Gucci bucket hat. Brittany, also wearing Gucci and stylish sunglasses, complemented Patrick, who wore a sleek black zip-up Prada shirt. Photos from the sporting event show the two couples chatting, smiling and even posing for a group photo, further dispelling any rumors of a strained relationship.
The recent gathering came shortly after Brittany, who is expecting her third child, shared an adorable photo of her 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye in a cute game-day outfit during the opening match Chiefs home field at Arrowhead Stadium last week. Brittany and Patrick also share a 21-month-old son, Patrick “Bronze” Mahomes.
Taylor made headlines when she recently appeared to support Travis Kelce at various events. She attended Thursday’s game with Kelce’s parents, Ed and Donna, and was seen enthusiastically cheering for her boyfriend. Taylorand Travis even hugged each other after the impressive play between Travis and Patrick.
The past week has been especially eventful for Travis and Taylor, starting with the Chiefs’ season opener in Kansas City on Thursday, followed by a pizza date at popular Brooklyn spot Lucali on Friday. The couple then attended the wedding of model Karen Elson and Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster on Saturday.
At the wedding, Swift was seen wearing a custom “TNT” bracelet that Kelce designed for her, featuring their initials in 14K rose gold and lab-grown diamonds. For the event, Swift wore a stunning Zimmermann Halliday Scallop midi dress with cutouts on the sides, while Kelce sported an all-black outfit with her hair slicked back for a polished look.
Through it all, Taylor and Brittany have shown that their friendship remains intact, and their recent public displays of affection show that any rumors of a rift are unfounded. The warm embrace at the US Open symbolized their bond, providing a refreshing respite from the rumors and speculation that often surround celebrity friendships.
