Taylor Swift reportedly gifted Brittany Mahomes a handmade baby blanket to celebrate the birth of Mahomes’ newborn daughter, Golden Raye, according to Page Six.
“Taylor’s aunt knit her a baby blanket when she was a child, so it always had a special meaning to her and was something she wanted to do for her friends,” a source told the outlet. “It’s become a tradition for Taylor, something she loves to do and something you can’t buy. It comes from the heart.”
Brittany and her husband, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, welcomed their new baby on January 12. He is their third child and first since Swift came into their lives when the pop star began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
In September, when Brittany was in the early stages of her pregnancy, she faced an onslaught of online attacks from Swift’s fans.

These attacks were in response to the pregnant mother simply liking an Instagram post on Donald Trump’s account. Screenshots of Brittany’s likes on a post laying out Trump’s 2024 political platform circulated on social media, often through Swift fan accounts. Many of those fans, who share Swift’s political beliefs as a Democrat, flooded Brittany’s pages with insults and attacks.
Brittany even had to address the controversy several times in social media posts and in a podcast interview, defending herself.
In an August 23 post, Brittany wrote: “I mean, honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you must have some deep-rooted issues that you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason why your brain is fully developed and you can’t I hate to see others doing well. In another post on August 26, he wrote: “Contrary to the tone of the world today… you can disagree with someone and still love them. You can have different points of view and still be kind. Read that again!” !”.
On an Aug. 28 episode of the “Whoop” podcast, she said she has leaned on her husband, a three-time Super Bowl winner, to get through recent public scrutiny.
“Having him to help me get through this has helped me a lot, because he’s very good at handling that stuff and blocking people and doing all that kind of stuff,” he said. “Having him by my side and guiding me, coaching me through this has helped me a lot. I think that’s gotten me to where we are now.
The apparent political differences between Swift and Mahomes became more pronounced when they were seen sitting in separate suites at the Chiefs’ home opener against the Ravens on September 5.
Then, on September 10, Swift announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris. In a Pak Gazette interview the following day, Trump stated that he liked Brittany “a lot more” than Swift in response, having already acknowledged the then-pregnant mother’s support on social media.

But Trump further fueled the political divide between Mahomes and Swift when he sent out a post that read, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on your Truth Social account.
However, Swift did not maintain her difference with Mahomes, even after Trump’s aggressive messages. They were later seen in the same suite during a Chiefs game against the Saints on Oct. 7, and Brittany showed off a photo of Swift rubbing her pregnant belly. Patrick also said in an October interview on “The Drive” podcast that he and Brittany often let their three-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye, bake with Swift.
Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomes, also endorsed Trump days before the election.
The data suggests that Swift’s endorsement of Harris did not sway voters significantly in recent elections.
According to AP VoteCast, 44% of women ages 18 to 44 voted for Trump, while 48% of women ages 45 and older supported the former president, now president-elect.

in a New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College poll, which was conducted a day after Swift endorsed the Harris-Walz campaign, of nearly 2,500 likely voters nationwide found that 44% have a favorable opinion of Swift, compared to 34% who have an unfavorable opinion.
The same poll found that 47% view Trump favorably, compared to 51% who do not. The poll shows that 70% of Democrats have a favorable opinion of Swift, compared to 41% of independents and just 23% of Republicans. A full 60% of Republicans indicated they had an unfavorable opinion of Swift, while only 11% of Democrats felt the same.
A September survey found that Trump has higher favorability numbers among likely voters, compared to Swift.
Now, as Trump returns to office on Monday, Swift seems as comfortable as ever with her Trump-supporting friend.
