that there was no truth to Mahomes’ seeming banishment, however.
“They are very good friends and they were so excited to go to the game, but they had different plans as it happens sometimes,” the insider said, insisting there was “zero tension” between the women.
“Brittany is a family woman, and Taylor likes to enjoy the game sometimes like it’s a party,” they continued, adding that they hung out both before and after the game.
“But Brittany preferred for the first game of the season to be in a suite with family and the kid, in a bit more of a ‘low key’ vibe.”

The insider’s claims are backed up by post-game posts to Mahomes’ Instagram Story, showing her on the field with her husband and one of their two children, 3-year-old Sterling. What’s more, Mahomes—who is pregnant again—skipped the “intimate” after-party at a Kansas City cocktail bar attended by her husband, Kelce, and Swift, who got “a little drunky” at the bash, per Page Six.
Swift, who is on hiatus from her Eras Tour until next month, spent the weekend in New York City, where she was papped alongside Kelce, dining out at a pizza restaurant and attending model Karen Elson’s wedding.
The couple were in high spirits at the U.S. Open, according to The Athletic, which reported they danced and sang along to The Darkness’ ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’ as Swift sipped on a Honey Deuce and cuddled up to Kelce.
It was not immediately clear on Sunday night whether Swift and Mahomes hung out after Italy’s Jannik Sinner trounced the U.S.’ Taylor Fritz in the final. But fans and other interested parties won’t have long to wait for more evidence of the state of their relationship; the Chiefs’ next game is only a week away.
