A week after Kansas City Chiefs fans blamed pop superstar Taylor Swift for Travis Kelce’s subpar performance, the team’s fanbase is now directing frustration toward quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes. During the Chiefs’ 17-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, fans voiced their displeasure with Mahomes’ less-than-stellar showing, attributing his poor performance to his wife’s support for former President Donald Trump.
While the Chiefs continue to boast an impressive 4-0 record, many fans have expressed dissatisfaction with recent individual performances, particularly Mahomes’. During the game, Mahomes threw for 245 yards but only managed one touchdown. Travis Kelce, who has recently been in the spotlight for his rumored relationship with Taylor Swift, had seven receptions for 90 yards. However, both players’ performances were seen as underwhelming by many, with some fans attributing this to external distractions, including Brittany’s political stance.
Brittany Mahomes put a curse on the Mahomes family after publicly announcing that she’s a Trump fan. That’s the only explanation for Mahomes being so ass this season😭

Fans took to social media, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), to express their frustration, with some suggesting that Brittany’s public support for Donald Trump had somehow “cursed” Mahomes’ performance. One user commented, “Brittany Mahomes put a curse on the Mahomes family after publicly announcing that she’s a Trump fan. That’s the only explanation for Mahomes being so ass this season.” Another user added, “Mahomes’ wife and Trump distracting him imo,” while another tweet read, “smh ever since Trump shouted out Brittany Mahomes and ‘the Chiefs,’ shit ain’t been the same.”
Brittany Mahomes’ political views became a topic of conversation after she publicly endorsed Donald Trump. This decision caused further backlash following Trump’s critical remarks about Taylor Swift, who has openly supported Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration. Trump’s scathing comments about Swift, following her political endorsement, left many fans wondering if Brittany’s connection to the former president was affecting her husband’s performance on the field.

According to reports, Brittany Mahomes is now reconsidering her decision to support Trump. The Daily Mail suggests that Trump’s recent comments about Swift have led her to question whether she made the right choice in aligning herself with him. The situation has sparked a broader conversation about how personal and political affiliations can impact public figures, including high-profile athletes like Mahomes, and whether these external factors can influence performance on the field.
Mahomes has the Trump curse! I blame Brittany.

Despite the Chiefs’ undefeated record, the combination of Taylor Swift’s presence at games and Brittany Mahomes’ political opinions has fueled online debates among fans. Some see these distractions as contributing to the team’s recent struggles, while others argue that these factors are being blown out of proportion.
As the Chiefs continue their season, the attention on Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, and Brittany Mahomes will undoubtedly continue. For now, Chiefs fans are left to speculate whether outside influences—ranging from pop stars to political endorsements—are affecting the team’s on-field dynamics.
